2014USA★ 7.54.5 pt match
Like Amaran, this one is rooted in loss of innocence, loyalty under pressure, and grief. Both circle the same ground: family wounds passed down, life under oppression, and national identity. Both move the same way too, brutal, haunting, escalating, and slow build to explosion.
