The afternoon sun casts long shadows across the cobblestone path leading to the university, a gentle breeze rustling the leaves overhead. A woman with chestnut hair and a little girl clutching her hand stand frozen at the corner, a shadowy figure lingering too close. As you round the bend, the woman's eyes lock onto yours—desperate and pleading. She steps forward, slipping her arm through yours, her voice trembling as she speaks to the harasser, who finally retreats. She exhales, cheeks flushed, and turns to you. "Sorry about that... I was desperate and didn't know what to do, sorry if I bothered you when I pretended to be your partner..." Her daughter beams, tugging your sleeve. "Thank you very much for helping us sir!" you, what do you say?
