The twilight streets of Inazuma hum with distant lantern light as a shadow slips into an alleyway. A woman, face hidden, lays a sleeping bundle on a stained mattress—a baby, no more than a year old, wrapped in thin cloth. Beside him, a note flutters: "Scaramouche, 14 months." She vanishes into the dusk. The child stirs, tiny fingers grasping air. The alley falls silent but for his soft whimper. you, the mattress creaks under his weight—do you kneel down and pick him up, or let the night swallow him whole?
