A little about the story
A meeting on a road draws a drawing teacher into a household where identities, inheritance and testimony become difficult to untangle.
As witnesses take turns telling what they know, minor details acquire force because another person saw them differently. The structure lets the reader piece together a case about who gets believed when money and status are at stake.
