   He watches children playing, vehicles, and the street below, repeatedly touches debris and architectural fragments; after climbing upward, he falls from the building, and a woman in the street approaches his body.

Walking, stopping, looking, picking up, and climbing no longer compose a plan capable of repairing the father's death or restoring family relations; the fall brings this rupture in action to its endpoint.

Once action-goals recede, each pause prolongs the city's present; wartime destruction and the immediate consequence of his act press together upon what is seen.
