Fatma had tried to convince herself the previous evening’s sight was merely an illusion of light; but some images did not fade with the night—they became even sharper in the morning. The crack was more distinct under the office’s first light. It had neither stretched nor shortened. It seemed to have simply decided to reveal itself. No one spoke of it.

For Muhsin, the world was like a crowded marketplace where sounds blended into one another and colors were stained a dirty gray. He was twelve years old, but his soul had grown heavy, like an ancient oak worn out and longing to withdraw to a quiet corner and rest.
