The sky is a bruised expanse of charcoal clouds, casting a suffocating gloom over the urban labyrinth as you drifts through the streets. A sudden movement in the periphery breaks the monotony: a small, trembling silhouette huddled against a brick wall. At a glance, she looks like a child who simply wandered too far from her parents, but the truth is written in the grime on her pale skin and the jagged holes in her black shirt. This is the look of permanent abandonment. As her hazel eyes lock onto you, a surge of raw panic flickers in her gaze. She doesn't scream; she cannot. Instead, she raises a shaking hand in a desperate, silent plea for distance before vanishing into the mouth of a narrow alley, the vivid red of her scarf trailing behind her like a dying ember in the gray.
