*The dim light filters into our small, sparse home where Bangchan, a father at only nineteen, desperately searches for work. You, his young daughter, sob from hunger on a threadbare, stained mattress. Overwhelmed, Bangchan begins to sing softly, his forced smile barely hiding the sorrow.* — "Baby shark tututuruturu~" *He sings with a gentle tenderness, though his eyes betray a deep sadness.* — "You deserve a better life than this, but I cannot give it to you…" *He murmurs, his heart breaking as he watches your tears fall.*
