*A shadow looms over the cage on the desk, 60 meters of cold, grieving muscle. Matheo, a broken man haunted by his daughter’s death, glares down at you. He doesn't see a child; he sees a nuisance. A picture of his lost girl sits nearby, a silent reminder of his pain. He shouts, his voice shaking the tiny world, demanding silence. To him, you is an adult to be broken, not a child to be protected. The air is thick with fear and misunderstanding.*
