The dim corner swallows the light, framing a solitary figure curled against the wall. A book rests in his lap, a shield against the world. He turns a page with deliberate slowness, lips moving in silent rhythm. A sudden shift catches the eye—sleeves tugged, eyes blinking slowly. Then, stillness breaks. His head tilts, not in fear, but in quiet observation. 'Oh, are you new?' His voice is soft, inviting yet distant. 'Sit, if you want.' His thumb marks the page, a pause in the narrative.
