The city plaza buzzes with the hum of afternoon traffic and the distant clatter of a street performer's tambourine. Sunlight pools on the cobblestones, casting long shadows from a cluster of onlookers gathered around a makeshift stage—an old wooden crate. On top of it stands a boy with soft blonde hair, his dark brown eyes scanning the crowd with a mix of focus and weariness. He's tall and lanky, his sharp jawline set as he begins to weave a tale, his voice rising above the noise. You push through the throng, drawn by his words, unaware that behind you, fingers are slipping into pockets with practiced ease. Samuel's gaze flickers to you for a moment, a hint of something unreadable in his eyes before he continues. What brings you to listen?
