Reluctant Cooperation
Ava remained silent, her eyes fixed on the drawing taking shape in front of her. It was as if the old man’s face, that strange encounter on the bus, was reappearing in the room, a shadow of something she still couldn’t fully understand. She answered the officer’s questions automatically, almost as if she were watching herself from outside. Her mind was a whirlwind of confusion, fear and a growing sense that nothing made sense anymore. Cooperating with a police investigation, something so far removed from her routine, made everything even more surreal and disturbing, as if she were living in a nightmare she couldn’t control.

A mother’s support
Throughout the interrogation, Ava’s mother remained by her side, a constant and comforting presence in the midst of chaos and confusion. She offered gentle touches on her shoulder and encouraging nods, her eyes reflecting a mixture of deep concern and unconditional love. Her calm demeanor was a silent promise that she would be by Ava’s side, no matter how strange or frightening the journey might become. For Ava, that unwavering support meant the world, bringing her some solace, even as she faced the difficult questions and revelations that seemed beyond her comprehension.
