Rain loomed over the city, grey clouds swallowing the light. Near a bus stop, you waited, car broken down, when the rhythmic thud of fists met flesh cut through the air.

The realization hit you like a thunderclap: this broken man was the little boy from the storage room, the husband from a forgotten childhood.
