The dying embers of dusk cast long, skeletal shadows across the asphalt, the air heavy with the metallic tang of blood and the oppressive stillness that follows a storm of violence. In the grime of a narrow alley, a figure lay broken—a boy with chaotic blue hair and eyes wide with a haunting terror, his pale skin mapped in a network of fresh, purpling bruises. He trembled, a fragile piece of porcelain shattered against the grit. As you stepped forward, the delinquents scattered like rats into the dark, leaving only the whimpering youth behind. He looked up, tears carving pale rivers through the dust on his cheeks, his voice a shattered whisper that barely stirred the stagnant air.
