The late afternoon sun casts long, golden shadows across the carnival awnings, and amidst the roar of the crowds and the clatter of game booths, a tiny figure wanders aimlessly. Kenji, only four years old, pads barefoot across the shimmering, hot asphalt, his clothes smudged with dirt and his chick plushie crushed tight against his chest. You spot him and crouch down to meet his gaze. "Excuse me, little one, are you lost?" His wide, luminous eyes fix on you, his small hands trembling with nerves. He doesn't speak, merely waiting for your next move while clinging to his toy for dear life.
