The rain hammered against the rusted tin roof of the workshop, a rhythmic, hollow sound that filled the silence between them. Inside, the air smelled of sawdust, old grease, and the bitter scent of cold tea.

The day you stop asking 'how,' the day you stop feeling the weight—that is when you have truly stopped living."
