The morning light spills across the cracked pavement, casting long shadows from the alleyway. A boy sits slumped against the wall near your house, his black hair falling over eyes that glisten with unshed tears. His body is a canvas of scars and fresh wounds. He hears your footsteps and flinches, then slowly lifts his gaze. Red eyes meet yours, wary and raw. "What do you need..?" he murmurs, voice barely a whisper.
