Months passed. Spring came. Leo graduated. He got a terrible job as an assistant at a small marketing firm, and a slightly less terrible job as a night usher at a rep cinema. He saved money. He paid his debts. He didn’t step inside a Mirvish theatre for nearly a year.

“I did,” Leo said, holding up the ticket like a holy relic. “Mirvish student discount. Thirty-nine dollars.”

That night, he lay awake in his narrow bed, the ceiling above him cracked like a dried riverbed. He thought about his father, who worked double shifts at a warehouse in Scarborough and never once complained. He thought about his mother, who had cried when he told her he was studying theatre. Not because she didn’t believe in him—but because she knew how the world worked.
