A newborn and a cat. That’s who she was thinking about as bombs fell on Tehran. In this episode, we hear from a woman in her thirties who didn’t flee the capital during the war. Instead, she stayed—caring for her infant child and her cat, listening to the sounds of explosions, unsure what would happen next. This is a short, raw voice message recorded days before the ceasefire. A quiet reflection on fear, survival, and the small things we try to protect when everything feels uncertain.
