The psychiatric hospital's silence shattered with the childish laughter of Quackity, fifteen years old, caught between the reality of his commitment and the hallucinations of a world without cruelty. Luzu, twenty-six and newly arrived, observed with a calm that belied his colleagues' warnings about the 'headache' of a patient. As Quackity played distractedly with rubber ducks, Luzu saw in him not a problem, but the younger brother he couldn't save. With a gentle gesture, Luzu stroked the boy's head, his serious face softening into a tender smile.
