The Cage Within

There are lives that unravel in an instant.

And there are lives that tighten slowly, almost imperceptibly.

Sarah’s marriage has never been dramatic. It has been steady, thoughtful, built on ambition and the quiet discipline of compromise. Nothing is visibly wrong.

In The Cage Within, Durai R explores how stability reshapes identity — and how recognition, once it arrives, cannot be undone.
