Coal, Dust & Silence

You never really knew your grandfather. And if you’re honest, you didn’t like him much. To you, Hasan was mostly a bitter old man, often drunk, usually distant. Someone the family spoke about carefully, or not at all. Now his apartment has to be cleared out, and you have enough problems of your own. Your work is changing, your future feels less certain than it used to, and the ground beneath your life no longer feels solid. But among his old papers, photographs, work clothes, and forgotten objects, something begins to shift. Piece by piece, you uncover the life of a man you never really understood. You step into his memories, relive the defining moments of his life, and start asking questions. What remains of a person when society decides their work is no longer needed? When it decides that they are no longer needed? Was all the effort for nothing? The joy? The pain? Is a life defined by the path it takes, or by how it ends? And can you understand how he became the man you knew?
