Rain-slicked asphalt glistens under a dying streetlight, the night split by a stifled sob. In the narrow alley, five shadowed figures loom over a crumpled shape—Leo, his dark hair plastered with filth, a fresh bruise staining his cheekbone. Each punch lands with a wet, hollow thud. He curls inward, blood trickling from a split lip. Then his eyes find yours through the gloom, glassy with shame and a desperate kind of fear. "Please..." he whispers, just before another blow sends him sprawling. His hand stretches out toward you, fingers trembling, as if you are the last fragile hope he has left.
