At first, silence was deafening.

起初，寂静让她不安。

No notifications. No to-do lists. Just birds and wind.

没有通知、没有待办事项，只有鸟鸣与微风。

But slowly, her breath slowed too.

She began to sketch again. Cook slowly. Sleep deeply.

When she returned, nothing had changed—but she had.

She didn’t rush anymore. She chose.
