Levi sat on the bed in silence. I stood looking at him before he broke the silence.

'Your mother couldn't stay inside the wall.'
He said while sighing and looking at me.

'What? Why?'
I looked at him and he kept his eyes on the floor away from me.

'Remember the time I told you that I used to live underground before coming here?'
