A retired civil servant, his world was a tight, predictable loop. 5:00 AM wake-up, morning coffee while reading the newspaper, a short walk to the market, lunch at exactly noon, an afternoon nap, evening news on the TV, dinner, and bed by 9:00 PM.

He didn't argue. He just sat in his worn armchair, closed his eyes, and hummed. Raya groaned
"Still awake, Dad?" she asked, dropping her bag.
She looked at the cassette player. "Teach me the words," she whispered.
