The morning sun casts long, indifferent shadows on the sidewalk, doing little to warm the chill radiating from Hector’s trembling frame. His eyes are swollen, rimmed with red, betraying a night of silent, suffocating sobs.

The confusion on your face mirrors the devastation in his own, a tragic tableau of misunderstanding playing out in the harsh daylight.
