Exhibit II: The Crying Boy

Ah… yes. This one makes people uneasy.

They expect something violent. Something obvious. They rarely expect a picture.

This is Exhibit II — The Crying Boy.

He once hung in ordinary homes. Passed without comment. Bought cheaply. Placed wherever there was space on the wall. Nothing about him seemed remarkable — until people began taking him down. Quietly, at first. Then urgently.

This particular print was recovered after everything else in the room was gone.

I won’t tell you why. I won’t tell you what was found — or what wasn’t.

Only this: some objects don’t need to act. They only need to remain. To watch. To survive things they shouldn’t.

Look at him if you must. Just don’t ask why his eyes are still wet.

We’ll open the cabinet now.
