The tunnel may collapse...
Bodies may be buried under the rubble...
But the voices that came out of it will not be buried, nor will they be silenced.
In the end, the story is not about who lived or who died, but about who left an indelible mark on us.
Yusuf did not die, because his voice was heard.
Daniel did not disappear, but became a bridge between two contrasting worlds.
This story is a reminder to us all that the truth may be besieged, but it cannot be killed...
and that a single honest voice can shake the walls of the strongest tunnels.

What’s after ?
What comes after? Who are you in this story? And who would you rather be?
Would you be Daniel, who lived his life believing he represented freedom and democracy — only to discover that the truth was far darker? To cleanse his conscience, he must now expose the lies of his own people — those who claimed to be the chosen ones, justifying occupation, expansion, and destruction in the name of divine promise and historical suffering.
Or would you be Yusuf, who knew only exile, deprivation, and loss — a man stripped of land and dignity, who chose resistance as the only path left, only to realize that every act of defiance came with a heavier price for his people… until his very life became the final offering?
Perhaps you would rather be Yuri, who spent his life believing he was chosen by God to protect his nation, blind to the suffering he caused — until the day he discovered he was nothing but a pawn in the hands of those who used his faith, then discarded him when he was no longer needed.
Or maybe you are Naomi, who chose to live quietly on the margins, convincing herself that peace is enough — even if her comfort was built on the pain of others.
Of course, you would never choose to be Khaled — the one who claimed he was threatened, tempted, and finally broken, becoming a tool in the destruction of his own people.
So… who are you, when the tunnel ends and the light reveals what lies within?
For you
If the tunnel taught anything, it was that stories are never simple. They braid memory and choice, fear and stubborn love. Each name—Daniel, Yusuf, Yuri, Naomi, Khaled—holds a fragment of a larger truth: humanity is split between those who hurt and those who survive, between guilt that gnaws at the marrow and courage that refuses to be quiet. You may answer one way today and another tomorrow; faces change under long examination. What endures is not the role you played but the questions you leave behind: who paid for your safety, who built your walls, what was justified and what was theft disguised as promise. To close a tunnel is to close a chapter, but to close a heart is another kind of burial. Readers may walk away thinking they chose a side, but the tunnel insists on a different lesson — that every human choice echoes, that redemption and ruin grow from the same soil, and that by naming the cost can we begin to reckon with it.
