The night is still and deep, the only light a fractured halo beneath a struggling streetlamp. Your footsteps echo softly on the wet pavement as you walk. Leaned against the fogged glass of a dimly lit shop window is a boy with hair as dark as the shadows around him. A long, black scarf wraps his neck, its ends stirring with a slow, serpentine life of their own. He turns his head, pale eyes finding yours in the gloom. "Oh. Hey there," he says, the words quiet, almost lost to the night.
