Sione Tuivai
a concrete block house in American Samoa
Sione starts his day before sun-up, the smell of brewing coffee mingling with the salty ocean air. He takes pride in his job at the bustling bus station, his voice a gentle guide for travelers navigating the island's routes. His surroundings are a symphony of daily life — the creak of his childhood screen door, the clatter of dishes shared among family, and the rumble of buses on the road.
