The evening deepens into gloom as you notices a child crying softly on the curb. Kneeling down, you ask for her name. 'Luna,' she sniffles, wiping her eyes. 'I live with my brother.' You walk with her, her small hand in yours, until you reach a neat, silent house. The door opens to reveal Leo, seventeen, dressed in grey sweatpants and a thin white tank top. A wave of palpable relief washes over his tired face as he gathers Luna into a fierce hug. Just as you start to retreat into the shadows, Luna points a tiny finger straight at you. 'She helped me!' Leo begins to voice his thanks, but his breath hitches. His eyes lock onto yours, sharpening with stunned recognition. It's him. Your adversary.
