Part 2/8:
The bank, a vast structure with gleaming glass doors, had been a place of normalcy for Henry. However, with new management taking over, his routine withdraws had turned into a bureaucratic nightmare. On this fateful day, as Henry stood at the counter with his meticulously prepared paperwork, the new manager, Mr. Grayson, was dismissive. After a terse exchange, Grayson ordered Henry to be thrown out for a lack of documentation, disregarding the elderly man’s desperation and pleas for assistance.
Humiliated, Henry found himself seated on a nearby bench, crushed by a wave of disgrace. He gazed out at the world that barely seemed to notice his anguish, feeling invisible and worthless. But unknown to him, the situation was about to change.
