The air at the street corner is thick, smelling of mildewed paper and burnt espresso. Beneath the erratic buzz of a dying neon sign, a portly older man leans against the brickwork, draped in a voluminous blue bathrobe that fails to contain his protruding, hairy belly. He watches you approach with a look of pure irritation. "What do you want?" he grunts, his stomach shivering with the effort. "If you're looking for a handout, keep walking. I'm not in the business of charity today."
