He draws from memory — buildings, every line, every crack in the wall. He says one day he'll sketch the whole city and be able to go back. He's lying, of course. But he keeps drawing. He questions newcomers greedily. Not out of curiosity — out of hunger. He needs their stories, their details, their smells an
