The person’s face was filled with despair, almost as if struck by a lightning bolt, speechless and frozen in place.

For a long time, Isolde slowly laid the painting on the desk, gazing at it with a mix of laughter and tears, like a fool.

But there was no reply.

After a long pause, Isolde stood up, staring at the painting for a while longer before reluctantly rolling it back up and placing it away.

She opened the other wooden boxes, finding elegant and luxurious jewelry that seemed to belong to her mother. She carefully packed it all away.

She opened a few more drawers, filled with everyday items–cups, handkerchiefs, accessories, purses, and
