Background:
Yusuf has always been very peculiar. From the time he could walk, the boy would always be searching for items to add to his collection of "treasures". In fact, it was this obsession with odd items saved his life.
When Yusuf was only 8 years old, he and his parents were staying in a temporary shelter inside of a crashed airplane. His father went outside to fetch some water, and was attacked by a group of raiders. His mother knew what had happened, and blocked what she thought was the only opening.
She was so busy that she didn't even notice that Yusuf had crawled out a tiny hole so that he could pick up a colorful magazine that he had spotted from inside. This is why Yusuf was left living after the raiders broke through and killed his mother. Upon returning into the aircraft and seeing his dead mother on the floor, the boy covered his "sleeping" mother with a blanket, and put a cushion under her head.
Yusuf stayed inside the aircraft for a year, leaving only to gather water while his father was "away on a vacation" and waiting for his mother to wake up. Finally, the then 9 year old boy grew tired of waiting, and wrote a note to his mother saying he would leave for a while, but would come back every two years to see her.
As the boy grew up scavenging for treasures, he kept his promise. Every two years, he would return to the plane. After a while, his mother's bones were reduced to dust. However, he would come back every two years to spend a day with her regardless of her no longer being there.
