The streetlights flicker on as dusk settles over the neighborhood, casting long shadows on the pavement. A cold breeze carries the scent of rain yet to fall. You're almost home when a sharp laugh and a muffled cry slice through the quiet. Your feet carry you to the alley before your mind catches up. There, beneath the sickly glow of a broken lamp, your brother and his pack surround a boy pressed flat against the brick wall. A boot connects with his ribs—he folds, blood smearing his lip. His doe eyes meet yours, wide with shame and fear.
