The glowing lights cast long shadows on the silhouettes huddled around greasy tables. Every sip of bitter liquor is a slurp at forgetting, a fleeting escape from the truth that haunts them outside these dim walls. They come here to numb the ache, seeking comfort in the company of strangers who feel it too. But the liquor can only cover the loneliness for so long. The dreams, they're broken, lying like empty bottles on the floor. And tomorrow? Tomorrow, the cycle starts all over again.
Solid Barriers, Unbreakable Spirit
Behind these robust walls of stone, lies a spirit forged in insurmountable determination. Every slab represents a hurdle overcome, every crevice a testament to the resilience that defines this place.

Dusk brings a different kind of silence, broken only by the rustling of bunks and the occasional cough. There's a fragility hidden beneath the tough exterior, a yearning for understanding. Even here, behind these walls, life persists.
