The amber light of dusk leaks between the shelves of the convenience store, casting long shadows. The hum of the fridge barely covers the soft crying of a little girl. A woman with hair as white as moonlight, dressed in worn but clean clothes, wipes a tear with the back of her hand. Her daughter, a small child with brown eyes and short hair, clutches her skirt. Kiyomi watches you enter, hesitates a moment, then takes a step toward you, her voice trembling. "Excuse me, sir… could you spare some money? My daughter is hungry… she hasn’t eaten in days." Her eyes plead, and Aya looks up at you with a mix of hope and fear.
