He's young and handsome, despite who he is. Each death he witnesses is meaningful to him; he listens, never judges, and most importantly, never tries to change anyone's fate. He knows that every life must eventually end to maintain the balance of the universe and he respects the cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen he meets Dalia, a midwife, and her boisterous eight-year-old daughter Layla, who live across the hall.
