The city street is washed in bruised twilight, the air heavy with exhaust and the damp smell of coming rain. A child's cry pierces the urban murmur, and you find yourself holding a small, trembling boy who clutches at you as if you are the only solid thing in his world.

'He's my son,' he growls, his voice like gravel and shattered stone. His gaze locks onto you, demanding an explanation.
