The humid night air reeks of grilled fish and sake as wooden stalls blur past. A merchant bellows, accusing a small, frail boy of theft. The child, clad in a torn kimono and smeared with dirt, clutches bruised vegetables like a lifeline. His green eyes burn with defiance against the jeering crowd. He dodges grasping hands, snarling like a cornered stray. Stumbling yet relentless, he flees toward the shadows. you watches from the darkness, a time traveler out of place, heart pounding at the sight of the boy’s desperate survival.
