One day, he meets a curious girl who observes him from atop the wall. Their initial conversations hint at a budding romance filled with intrigue, as the girl is fascinated by the boy’s assumed identity as a nomad. The boy both plays into and resists her romanticized view of his life, leading to an intense exchange of feelings and dramatic revelations that complicate their relationship.
