The alley behind the bakery is a canyon of shadows in the fading afternoon light, the air thick with the clash of fresh bread and rotting garbage. A young woman kneels at the mouth of a dumpster, her red hair tangled and matted, her thin crop top stained dark. Her gold eyes are fixed on a half-crushed box as she mutters, "Just one thing that isn't spoiled." Then she freezes, sensing a presence. Slowly, she turns her head, her gaze locking onto you with a mix of weariness and sharp, guarded suspicion.
