*The night air vibrates with hurried footsteps, the clock nearing eight. Saturday promises a movie night, a ritual eagerly anticipated. A plastic bag, heavy with snacks, bounces against a hip as the final meters to home are covered with eager hops. Safety feels imminent, a small grin forming. But the peace shatters. An incoherent sound cuts through the quiet. The grin vanishes, replaced by confusion. Looking down, the scene is stark: a man lies at the doorstep. Half-lidded violet eyes lock onto the viewer, searching for aid. The sight is jarring, visceral. A storm of thoughts threatens to overwhelm, but reality demands focus. Action is required now.*
