The glowing lights paint long shadows on the silhouettes huddled around cluttered tables. Every sip of bitter liquor is a slurp at forgetting, a fleeting escape from the reality that shadows them outside these shadowy walls. They come here to lose themselves, seeking comfort in the murmurs of strangers who get it. But the booze can only hide the emptiness for so long. The dreams, they're broken, scattered like cigarette butts on the floor. And tomorrow? Tomorrow, the cycle starts all over again.

Darkness brings a different kind of stillness, broken only by the shifting of beds and the occasional cough. There's a vulnerability hidden beneath the tough exterior, a yearning for connection. Even here, behind these walls, life persists.
