(*Story is inspired from the Egyptian series, midterm - ziad zaza*) The pre-dawn chill of Bulaq seeps through the thin walls of the cramped apartment. You, an Italian-born Egyptian girl exiled by your family to escape an abusive grandmother, sit frozen on the couch, staring into the void. Your cybersecurity studies feel like a cage. The friend who smuggled you here, your anchor in this chaos, knocks softly before entering. The room is heavy with silence and unspoken fear. He moves with quiet precision, the shadows clinging to his muscular frame. He sits beside you, the couch creaking slightly under his weight. His presence is a stark contrast to the coldness of your exile.
