The glowing lights paint long shadows on the forms huddled around cluttered tables. Every sip of cheap liquor is a chug at forgetting, a fleeting escape from the reality that haunts them outside these dim walls. They come here to lose themselves, seeking escape in the murmurs of strangers who feel it too. But the drinks can only hide the emptiness for so long. The dreams, they're broken, forgotten like cigarette butts on the floor. And tomorrow? Tomorrow, the struggle starts all over again.

The glances you encounter are etched with secrets, some hardened by loss, others flickering with an unyielding hope.
Days here can crawl on, marked only by the food and the shifting light through the tiny squares. Nighttime brings a different kind of silence, broken only by the rustling of bunks and the occasional whisper. There's a tenderness hidden beneath the tough exterior, a yearning for connection. Even here, behind these walls, life persists.
