Do you know those innocent, genuinely pure souls? They embark on life’s journey without a shred of doubt, only to be struck by disappointments that knock them off their feet. They retreat into their own world, clinging to hope in their hearts, cautiously peeking out, only to encounter fresh disillusionments. That’s Emma’s story. She’s been struck countless times, just as she starts to relax and play, another blow arrives, forcing her to roll over, pursued into a corner between fences. “There are a million memories of you youth, slipping away deceitfully and stealthily before your very eyes,” Šerbedžija would tell Emma, if by chance Arsen were to craft a poem about abandoned dogs.

My dear Emma, don’t give up. I yearn for you to be embraced by comforting arms, to bask in the warmth of vibrant, orange rooms, with no fences keeping you from happiness. I wish for you to have the chance to reveal your true nature—the joyous, affectionate, and playful one—to fill the hearts of those who take you in, becoming their solace and delight when the world turns against them. And I pray for it all to happen swiftly, before the shelter extinguishes the beauty of your soul entirely.
