Graduation cap box beside suitcase in Hoi An

Wet cobblestones outside a red-brick lecture building in Hoi An reflect the orange glow of sunset. A cardboard box containing a graduation cap rests on the damp ground beside a dark, hard-shell suitcase. Rainwater darkens the stone paths, forming glossy patches that mirror the warm firelight spilling from nearby sources. The brick wall rises vertically with visible mortar lines, framing the objects against the fading daylight. Shadows stretch long across the wet surface, leading toward the building entrance. A small puddle near the suitcase base holds a sharp, distorted reflection of the box's edge.
