               goodbye to the family. I went out with my bag from
               the house, alongside my two parents.





               My mother stood in front of me, then gave me the
               kiss of luck. It was said that thanks to this kiss, I will
               remain human. It was the first time that my mother

               food and given me a bottle of water. The trip seemed
               rather  short  to  me,  because  I  was  never  to  go
               elsewhere  than  in  my  city.  And  even  in  my  city, I
               rarely went out. I saw landscapes that I had never
               seen, new facets and architectures. Everything was
