The Home to Which the Noise Returns<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

There came a day when I stopped going on family trips.
I had been glued to my desk preparing for university entrance exams\u2026 or perhaps, I had just come up with that excuse.
The truth was, I simply couldn\u2019t find a reason to go to noisy places with my family anymore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 In other words, I longed for silence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My family silently accepted it. Gradually, the number of trips they took without me increased.
They must have sensed that I was yearning for “serenity.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In my house, silence never truly existed.
The TV was always on, laughter shook the walls, the ventilation fan hummed, and the air conditioner groaned.
Even if I curled up in the furthest corner of the house, the noise would follow me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 However, when my family was gone, silence would unexpectedly arrive.
A silence so empty it felt almost unnatural.
The body left behind in the stillness experienced a strange sense of liberation.
The air spreading from corner to corner of the room didn\u2019t clear with a “shh” but instead carried a tension, as if it were on the verge of snapping. I tried to merge with it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I wanted to live in that stillness forever.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

…That was my feeling for the first three hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Soon, the silence turned into a ringing in my ears, summoning phantom sounds that gnawed at my mind.
I started feeling ill, and in the end, I turned on the TV and played music…<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u2014 Ah, please come back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When the door opened, the noise rushed in.
Laughter bounced through the air, the clinking of dishes echoed, and the TV blared noisily.
I frowned, but deep inside, I felt relieved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The stillness certainly comforted me.
But it was the noise that connected me to something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hear there is something called “OYAKO Day.”
I want to celebrate that day not as a day to give flowers or exchange special words, but simply\u2014
as a day to truly appreciate the value of the noise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The discomfort of being alone.
The disharmony born from the interactions between parent and child.
That disharmony is my life, my comfort,
\u2014 and the place to which I belong.<\/p>
