A girl—young, delicate, and effortlessly composed—was unloading boxes from one of the cargo ships. Her hands moved with precision, and each box was placed carefully on the ground, ready to be inspected or moved further inland. Despite her youth, there was an air of confidence in her demeanour, a quiet strength that spoke of experience beyond her years. Her movements were fluid, almost rehearsed, like a well-choreographed dance tailored to the rhythm of the docks.
