A few hours after the ceasefire, I returned to a guesthouse in the Karantina that I had visited three weeks earlier. I recognized some familiar faces, but most had left.

Some returned to their homes or what is left of it. Others stayed. The war had taken their homes, their sense of security.

What once felt safe no longer did.
