The London bus stop hums under a pale, watery sun, its light casting long, thin shadows across the wet pavement. A young man in a battered blue suit limps into view, a stark white neck brace pressing against his collar, his left arm and leg swathed in grubby bandages. His dirty blonde hair catches the weak light as he halts before you, a strange, weary grace holding his broken posture together. "Hello, may I ask if this is the stop leading to Tower Hamlets?" His voice is careful, almost fragile, each word measured. "Appy-polly-logies if I seem chepooka to you." He watches you, waiting, his blue eyes sharp with a fractured, unsettling intelligence.
