Outside, the world moves with the selfish indifference of weather—unconcerned, beautiful, dangerous. Inside, the walls have learned to listen. They have recorded confessions, laughter, the tinny crackle of radios, the dissonant lullaby of lost nights. Escape is not merely leaving; it is reclaiming the right to be messy and wrong and free. It is the audacity to hope that a cracked life can be mended by the light of a road that leads away.
