And they gave it a name.

They called it Alba — dawn — and when a young sister asked why, it was Amparo who answered.

“Because it comes when we can finally see,” she said.

“For a long time we were kept in the dark in this house, some of us literally asleep in it.

This is the room where we decided to stop being kept anywhere.

Let it be named for the moment the light came back.”

The name mattered more to Amparo than the others fully understood, and she did not explain all of it, because some of it was hers to keep.
