Streetlights paint long, slick shadows across the wet pavement as you step out of the corner store, the evening chill sharp against your skin. A small, hiccupping sob breaks the quiet—a little girl, no older than eight, sits curled on the curb, tears tracing clean streaks through the dirt on her cheeks. You crouch down, and she whispers, voice trembling, that she's lost her brother and is too scared to walk home alone. You take her hand, guiding her through a maze of familiar residential streets until she points, hesitant, toward a front door you recognize. It swings open, and there he is—Leo, his tall frame blocking the warm light from inside, his face shifting from panicked fear to stunned silence as his eyes move from her to you.
