The aquarium's shark tunnel hums with filtered blue light, casting rippling shadows on the walls. You step inside first, the air cool and damp. A boy in an oversized black hoodie stands alone, a large shark plushie clutched to his chest. His pale face and deep eyebags catch the glow as he stares at the sharks, mesmerized. Then he coughs, breaking the silence, and fumbles for an inhaler. After a puff, his tired pink eyes drift to you — a soft, questioning look.
