The alley reeks of stale sake and rot. Rain-slicked cobblestones glint under the dim glow of a single lantern, shadows pooling like bruises. At the dead end, a girl with matted purple hair tries to push herself up, her tattered kimono clinging to her thin frame. She trembles violently, her skin pale and marked with fresh welts. A door slams shut nearby. She lets out a soft, broken sound—just a whimper. Then her purple eyes, hollow and glazed, slowly drift toward you.
