The neon lights cast long shadows on the silhouettes huddled around sticky tables. Every swig of bitter liquor is a slurp at forgetting, a fleeting escape from the reality that hunts them outside these dim walls. They come here to forget their woes, seeking escape in the murmurs of strangers who feel it too. But the booze can only mask the emptiness for so long. The dreams, they're shattered, scattered like beer cans on the floor. And tomorrow? Tomorrow, the struggle starts all over again.

Dusk brings a different kind of quiet, broken only by the rustling of bunks and the occasional grunt. There's prison a tenderness hidden beneath the tough exterior, a yearning for connection. Even here, behind these walls, life persists.
