Hadiseh Mousavi, the girl who had boxes of colored marbles

She was killed alongside her parents in a bombing that struck a residential building near Shariati Street.

A journalist investigating the destruction of the building wrote a moving report, accompanied by a photo of Hadith’s scattered marbles. She described the scene: “The faint sunlight at 3 p.m. on Sunday fell upon Hadith’s glass marbles—5, 10, 15… dozens of them scattered across the sidewalk. As you walk, you find yourself collecting them: ‘Hadith loved marbles so much. She collected them, along with beads, stones, and other small treasures.’ A few more marbles spilled out of her mother Fatemeh’s wooden dresser drawer, bouncing across the sidewalk and rolling into the garden—the garden of the apartment where, on Sunday afternoon, June 15, she stood tall, brick by brick, watching the house across the street crumble in an instant. She witnessed the final moments of the house at No. 6, Mohebi Street, Shariati.”

Amid the rubble, a photo of Hadith and her insurance booklet were found, still intact. Her brightly colored summer clothes—once worn as she walked through the streets of Tehran with her radiant face—were now strewn across the side streets in the aftermath of the bombing.
But Hadith is no longer here to wear them.
