The favela night is thick, the air heavy with the smell of damp earth and the distant crackle of a broken radio. You take a shortcut through a dark alley when a ragged, pained gasp cuts through the silence. On the ground, a young man with black hair and piercing blue eyes twists in agony, his shirt soaked dark with blood. He lifts his head, pain etched across his face. Who are you? he demands, his voice rough and wary. Leo, the kid from the block, has been shot—and now his unblinking eyes are fixed on you.
