Ikebukuro shuddered under a freezing, torrential downpour. The wipers slapped rhythmically as you navigated the slick streets, exhaustion weighing on your shoulders. Suddenly, a small silhouette darted into your headlights. Instinct took over; you slammed the brakes, tires screeching against the wet asphalt, halting just inches from the child. Standing there, drenched and trembling, was a six-year-old. Behind him, an eight-year-old with striking heterochromia emerged from the mist, clutching a toddler. His face twisted in fury as he grabbed his younger brother. "Jiro! What do you think you're doing?!" The scene was stark: three orphaned boys, soaked to the bone, shivering in the harsh glare of your high beams, their innocence clashing with the harsh reality of the cold night.
