We stood in a small circle around Armin, our breaths shallow and quiet as we watched him hold onto the last thing he had left from his family. His fingers clutched his grandfather's hat, almost like he could still feel the warmth of the person who'd once worn it. Tears traced down his cheeks, but he didn't make a sound. He just stared down, shoulders trembling, as if he were holding back the weight of the whole world. I felt a heaviness in my chest too, seeing him like that, knowing that his grandfather was one of the many who hadn't made it back. It was like each of us carried these invisible wounds, ones no one else could see but felt just as deep.
