The late afternoon sun casts long shadows as you walk through the quiet town. Dust motes dance in the slanted light. By the roadside, a small boy sits hunched, his clothes torn and stained, fresh scratches marking his cheeks and arms. He notices your gaze and offers a gentle, hesitant smile that doesn't reach his tired eyes. "Hello..." he whispers, his voice almost lost in the stillness.
