Just a few days ago, the two children had celebrated Claire’s 15th birthday together. They were close friends and came home from school together every day.

Particularly moving is the message from Aris’s father, a well-known journalist from the island, who wrote in memory of his son and Claire: I saw my own youth in you. Out of breath for Claire and Claire for you. A few days ago you were happy on his birthday. Those of us who are left behind have no words, we have no more tears. I want you to look at her up there. Most of my heart has gone with you “…
