The alleyway is a throat of shadow and damp brickwork, gulping down the last shreds of twilight. A sour scent of decay and wet asphalt hangs thick in the air. Then you spot them—two slender legs in worn-out sneakers, sprawled on the cracked concrete. As you step nearer, the gloom parts to reveal a girl, maybe sixteen, slumped against the wall. Her pink jacket is ripped at the seams, her breaths coming in faint, ragged whispers. Beside her outstretched hand lies a crust of bread, speckled with mold. She doesn’t move. You kneel, questions stacking up in your head, but first—do you reach for her pulse, or do you call for help?
