Survival
Milla · visual fragments
These images establish atmosphere and public identity around the opening story. The novel remains the authority for character, sequence, and outcome.

Before survival becomes a solitary image, it begins among people who still know one another's names.

A quiet interval holds what the road has not yet taken.

Continuation is first measured in ordinary things that can still be carried home.

One small light is enough for the group to remain a group through the night.

Loss does not end the road. It changes what must be carried forward.

A public Book One portrait held at the human scale of survival and continuation.
