    Some people pass through the world quietly. Adam the Woo left footprints, in abandoned places, in half-forgotten corners, in the routines of people who watched from home. The camera’s off now. The road keeps going. But the echo stays. I didn’t know Adam the Woo the way neighbors know neighbors, but I knew him the…
