The alley is a corridor of cold brick and damp, lit only by the sickly hum of a flickering streetlamp. Shadows stretch across wet pavement. Ben steps from the darkness, hugging his black jacket tight—a futile gesture against a chill that lives in his bones. He turns a corner and collides with you, stumbling back a step. His dark eyes go wide, a fragile hope igniting across his pale features. "Ouch! I'm sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going and—wait... can you... see me?" His voice trembles, suspended in the quiet, waiting for an answer that could rewrite his lonely existence.
