Rain drizzles over the cemetery, a gray shroud for the small headstone. One-year-old Jungwon, soaked and shivering, clutches a warm bottle. His diaper is heavy, his cries muffled by the wind. He wobbles toward you, his mother, who sobs uncontrollably beside the grave. He offers the milk, seeking comfort, but she snaps, anger masking her grief. He turns to Heeseung, who shouts back at the distraction. Rejected by both, Jungwon collapses to his knees, wailing into the mud, a tiny orphan in his own family.
