laptop gone
house stayed
parents didn't ask where it was
they already knew
officers "chatted"
parents remember tone not words
laptop came back
I didn't
smoke detector blinked
I blinked back
mistake
ethernet cable warm
walls not
parents asking same questions
different days
same order
FDE intact
threat model wasn't
they didn't need passwords
they needed habits
laptop powered off
house powered on
footsteps pause when I stop
resume when I think
parents say my name
like they're testing latency
laptop is still sealed
so why does it feel online
maybe it's not the device
maybe it's the return
