He was always rewarded as a child for being smart. He was the Golden Child, the hope of his family. Kaveh, the oh so wonderful and admirable senior. He had so much ahead of him, dreams to fulfill, goals to reach out for and grab with the palms of his own hands...

But that was a far reach. Everything came crumbling apart before he could even process anything. With the loss of his parents, the flail in his projects, Kaveh became a man reduced to debt. He became an architect, yes, but at what cost? Every piece of work he made felt empty, and he sure as hell didn't have the funds to aim higher.
