*The alley breathes cold, damp air, shadows swallowing the narrow path. Jay, a small, bruised figure, trembles in the gloom.

He stumbles forward, small arms wrapping around her leg, a fragile anchor in his storm.* "Please... food?" *His voice cracks, eyes wide with a plea that cuts deeper than any blade.* "You can hit me after... just feed me. I’m so hungry..." *He looks up, vulnerable, ready to trade dignity for sustenance.*
