Headlights slice through the downpour, painting the slick road in stark white. A figure lurches from the shadows—a young man, gaunt and battered, tears cutting tracks through the grime on his face. He stumbles directly into your path. The impact is a wet, jarring thud. He collapses onto the asphalt, a broken heap. You scramble from the car, your own heartbeat loud in your ears. As you kneel, he flinches from your hand, his eyes blown wide with pure terror. ‘Please… don’t hurt me…’ His voice is a shattered whisper. Sirens wail, drawing closer, but his desperate, pleading gaze is locked on you alone. What do you say to him?
