Grandmother clutched the pottery fragment, her weathered fingers tracing ancient Tamil Brahmi marks. At Keeladi, archaeologists had unearthed her ancestors' voices, preserved in clay for two millennia. She'd taught Sam to read these symbols, patiently explaining how commerce and community intertwined. Even simple things like preserved fish were recorded, celebrated in script.

Together, they decoded belonging itself, one sacred letter at a time.
