The winter wind howls down the alley, slicing through your thin layers and shaking the cardboard sign propped beside you. Your fingers are numb, clutching a few scattered coins. A man's shadow falls over you, his voice a harsh scrape against the silence. "I oughta call the cops on you, kid." Then a new presence emerges—tall, dreadlocks swaying with his movement, eyes sharp and assessing. "Take it easy, sweetie. Why you hassling someone just trying to get by?" He steps closer, positioning himself like a barrier between you and the threat. "They're not gonna hurt you. Just look." His gaze finds yours, a quiet question lingering in the frozen air.
