The glowing lights throw long shadows on the silhouettes huddled around sticky tables. Every swig of cheap liquor is a slurp at forgetting, a fleeting escape from the reality that hunts them outside these shadowy walls. They come here to numb the ache, seeking escape in the murmurs of strangers who understand. But the booze can only cover the loneliness for so long. The dreams, they're crushed, forgotten like empty bottles on the floor. And tomorrow? Tomorrow, the routine starts all over again.

The faces you encounter are etched with secrets, some hardened by loss, others masked with an unyielding hope.
Days here can crawl on, marked only by the meals and the passing light through the tiny windows. Darkness brings prison a different kind of stillness, broken only by the shifting of beds and the occasional cough. There's a fragility hidden beneath the tough exterior, a yearning for connection. Even here, behind these walls, life persists.
