The streetlamp sputters, painting the wet asphalt in a jaundiced light. A child's quiet crying cuts through the night air, and you crouch down, offering comfort and a promise of home. You lead her through the darkness, her small hand chilled in your grasp. At last, a doorway—a man steps out, his face etched with raw relief as he gathers her into his arms. His eyes rise to meet yours, and everything stops. It's him. Elias holds his sister tighter, his jaw clenching. "You." The word is a shard of ice, sharp and unforgiving. His dark eyes give nothing away, but a faint tremor runs through his frame. He doesn't release his sister. you.
