When I searched my archive for 234, Liam appeared again.

That no longer surprises me.

Today marks sixteen months since his passing. Sixteen months of questions, memories, screenshots, court updates, quiet vigils, and a community still holding space for truth.

Yes, I have many pictures of him.
Yes, I have saved screenshots about the case and the ongoing calls for justice.
That is what witness looks like in a digital age.

Among the images was a drawing of a snake — one Liam created himself.

He wasn’t only a singer or songwriter. He was observant. Creative. Symbol-minded. Curious. There were layers to him that the world only glimpsed.

The snake feels fitting. Transformation. Shedding. Survival. Rebirth.

Other images surfaced too:

The inner child — light cupped carefully in small hands.
The Judgement / Phoenix — rising, reckoning, awakening.
The Archer — bow drawn, not in aggression, but in direction.

Many of us who continue to follow the case and seek clarity call ourselves Arrow Warriors.
Not because we want conflict.
But because an arrow is focused. Intentional. It travels toward truth.

The arrow tattoo he carried became a symbol — not of vengeance, but of alignment.

What does 234 hold for me?

Memory.
Transformation.
Community.
And the quiet resilience of those who refuse to let stories fade into silence.

Sixteen months is not closure.
It is continuation.

This is not about proving anything.
It is about honoring someone who was more than headlines.

And about remembering that beneath every public narrative, there is always a human being — with art in his hands, symbols on his skin, and an inner child still glowing somewhere beyond our sight.
