He learned early that his last name arrived before he did, entering every room like a storm warning. While his father treated the spotlight as oxygen, he treated it as a toxin, something to be filtered, managed, avoided. His mother and grandparents carved out a small, stubborn sanctuary inside that glare: home-cooked meals instead of banquets, a foreign language wrapping him in a privacy no tabloid could translate, the promise of another passport and another possible life.
When his grandmother died, the world consumed the images; he absorbed the loss. The funeral that should have been a goodbye felt like a public exhibit, his sadness converted into spectacle. So he did the only thing left that was his to control: he stepped back. In a culture that mistakes visibility for worth, he has chosen to be scarce, letting silence say what he will not perform—that he is not a storyline, but a person still deciding who to become.
