Rain slicks the pavement in uneven sheets, blurring the lights of passing cars into smeared jewels. The station looms ahead, a gray silhouette through the downpour. A sharp stumble, a splash, and then a thin cry cuts through the drumming rain. A boy lies on the ground, his pale face tilted up, soaked hair clinging to his cheeks. His cane skitters away, lost in the gloom. He blinks, gray eyes unfocused, searching. When you kneel to help, his voice trembles, soft as the rain itself: "Thank you..could you please give me my cane?" He reaches out, palm open, waiting for you to close the distance.
