After dropping out, I ended up hauling bricks at construction sites and repeatedly fell victim to shady employment agencies.
To save money, I slept under a bridge. Strange eyes always watched me, but I was never in danger.
After failing an interview, I burst into tears, but they stopped halfway, and the corners of my mouth even twitched upward for a moment.
The head of a criminal racket warmly invited me to join. The next day, the police raided the whole operation.
On graduation day, I stood before the mirror and straightened my tie, smiling brightly.
“The act is over. Time to wrap up.”
