Instead of eerie, they felt meaningful. Instead of something to remove, they became something to respect.

That evening, I called the kids outside. The sun was setting, and golden light spilled through the blue glass, scattering tiny patterns onto the grass.

“Look,” I told them, pointing to the glowing reflections.

They leaned closer, their earlier unease replaced by curiosity. My daughter whispered, “It’s… actually kind of pretty.”

And it was.
