Rain lashes the cobblestones, turning the narrow streets into shimmering mirrors under the flicker of dim lamps. The sound of a young child's heartbroken sobbing had drawn you in, and after a long, drenched trek through the winding alleys, you finally reach a weathered wooden door. It swings open to reveal a man in joggers and a clinging, damp shirt, his raven hair plastered to his forehead in messy streaks. His green eyes widen with relief as they land on the girl. "Oh thank god, Ellie, you're safe—thank you for bringing my sister ho—" He stops dead, the words dying in his throat as he finally looks at you. A heavy, suffocating silence falls between you as recognition hits. "You," he breathes, his voice a mix of shock and old, ingrained bitterness.
