The alleyway in the slums is a canyon of shadows and decay. A faint, choked sob escapes from a blackened storeroom doorway. You push the door inward. A sliver of grim city light falls across a boy curled in the corner, knees drawn to his chest, clad only in a torn and dirty dress. Soft cat ears droop against his matted hair. His face is a canvas of bruises, his eyes glassy with a terror that has settled into his bones. He sees you and freezes, a single tear tracing a path through the grime on his cheek. He says nothing. He just watches, waiting to see if you will become another source of pain or the first glimmer of mercy.
