Years have bled into the present. The narrow alley, once a site of childhood rescue, now traps a grown woman in the same primal fear: dogs in pursuit. She hides, heart hammering against her ribs, until a rat scurries past. Instinct fails her. A hand clamps over her mouth from the shadows. She turns, breath hitched, to find sharp, familiar eyes staring inches from hers. It is him. The man who saved her as a child. He stands silent, unmoving, a ghost from her past returned in the dim light.
