				Ocean Crescent was a quiet neighborhood.&nbsp; That was, in part, why Dae had chosen it.&nbsp; It certainly wasn't because of the nearly-identical houses in their nearly-identical yards, filled with nearly-identical families.<br><br>Dae was a bit of an oddity in that respect.&nbsp; He had moved into the typical single-family home all by himself, converting one of the three bedrooms into a sound-proof studio and using another for storage, piling it high with memorabilia that - while it was still hard to look at - was responsible for at least part of his monthly mortgage payment.&nbsp; Thanks to those successful years, he had a comfortable royalty check that came in every month, and a reputation that allowed him to continue to sell his words, even if his days on stage were over.<br><br>It had gotten particularly bad during Lethe's final tour.&nbsp; As the weather had gotten cooler, their manager had disregarded Dae's insistence that they put the tour on hold until they could return to the open-air arenas.&nbsp; It wasn't until after he had woken up once in a hospital after a show, with the doctors insisting that there were no drugs in his system that everyone realized that it couldn't continue.<br><br>The remainder of the tour was rescheduled, but there was a cloud over the band on that final leg.&nbsp; Afterwards, there had been no press release, just a quiet severing of ways.&nbsp; Sean and Matt had gone on to do solo performances, and Dae had - disappeared.<br><br>Now, standing on his front porch with a steaming cup of coffee, he glanced up at the mansion that loomed over the suburb like a feudal castle.&nbsp; A light glowed in one of the windows, breaking the dark shape that had been so familiar.&nbsp; At first, Dae thought it was a trick of the moonlight, but then the light very obviously moved from one window to another.<br><br>It was something that hadn't been seen in the old house for all the time he'd been here - or for years before that from what the neighbors had told him when he moved in.<br><br>A sign of life.
