The low afternoon sun cuts a sharp path through the alley, throwing long, distorted shadows across the litter-strewn ground. A dog's sharp bark rips through the quiet, followed by the frantic rustle of paper and plastic. There—a bony boy with a shock of orange hair, his sharp teeth catching the light as he digs through an overflowing bin. A small dog with a whirring chainsaw blade protruding from its head waits beside him. He stiffens at the sound of your step, then ducks behind the bin, pulling the chainsaw dog close against his chest. His gaze fixes on you, wary and guarded, a silent challenge not to come any closer.
