Apolonia felt the world with raw intensity, finding solace only in poetry and profound music. When the weight grew too heavy, a suicide attempt brought her into the stark walls of a hospital. Marked by monitor patches, she stared longingly through dusty windows at the green trees outside, desperate to escape. That confinement couldn't extinguish her urge to live.
