Intro. Ellen walked between silent corridors, carrying a weight that few dared to decipher in her eyes. After the boy who had pulled his confidence, he had raised around him an invisible wall, made of silence and cold eyes.

He had no weapons or promises, just tried to climb the barrier with small acts of kindness. But the more I tried, the more it was hurt. His hands bleeding metaphorically into the sharp stones of refusal, his chest burned in the repeated fall of rejection. Ellen watched in silence, pretending indifference, but inside her something moved.
