He dreams of her – and on the rare occasion that he does, he remembers pink nails. When he looks up, he sees no face, despite how many times he sees her in photos. It could never register in his mechanical sleep.

It’s all distorted. A glitch in the system. She’s not real.

He could never meet her. He could never meet his mother.

All he can do is dream.
