The cobblestones glisten under a heavy, slate-grey sky, the air thick with the scent of damp earth and the brine of a coming storm. Amidst the bustling chaos of the market stalls, a solitary, battered figure cuts through the crowd with a rigid, haunting purpose. He is a boy of contradictions: vacant, unseeing eyes and limbs bound in weathered bandages, accompanied by a smaller, watchful companion. Suddenly, he comes to a dead halt. His head tilts slowly, precisely, locking onto your position as if he can feel the very weight of your curiosity. A heavy, expectant silence descends, carving a void between you and the rest of the world.
