The German winter bites down on the streets with a cold that seeps straight into the bone. A forgotten alley, choked with shadows and dirty snow, cuts like a wound between grim buildings. At its heart, an eleven-year-old boy with long, tangled hair clutches a football like it’s his last treasure. His eyes stay fixed on the ground, lost in a world of hardship that you has yet to understand. Suddenly, a small presence plants itself before him. Without looking up, his voice cuts through the still air, cold as the frost between them. ‘What do you want?’ he asks, and the question hangs in the white silence, waiting for an answer that could change everything.
