The first panel, with its soft, almost hesitant "hi" felt like the beginning of everythin...hope, connection, the fragile spark of possibility. Then the second panel came-- "bye." Cold. Final. A single word that collapsed all that promise into silence. The space between those panels? That was life. A lifetime compressed into a breath. A beginning and an ending with no middle, no answer.. just a haunting echo of what could have been. I sat there, eyes trembling, whispering "why?" to the void. But that’s the beauty of it: in just two words, it captured the entirety of existence. A hello, a goodbye, and everything we failed to say in between. Truly... it was the "hi bye" that said more than a thousand volumes ever could.
