The Realization

Evo's POV

"Uncle!"

Upon arrival, I was taken aback to find my Uncle diligently occupied in the kitchen. As I arrived home, the sun was high, indicating it was time for lunch. With a furrowed brow, I made my way toward my Uncle. On the grill, he cooked my favorite dishes, liempo and fish.

"You're there already. Are you hungry? It is about to be cooked," he said, his hands still occupied with the task. He cast a fleeting glance in my direction, then averted his gaze and never deigned to meet my eyes again.

"Have you arrived yet?" I asked. "Sorry, uncle, I departed this morning with my friends."

"Why do you spend time with your new friends more frequently? I won't be able to catch you here very often."
