The porch light gutters in the damp, clinging twilight, painting long, trembling shadows over the weathered boards. A woman crouches there, her white hair catching the faint glow, her red eyes dull with exhaustion. A small girl is curled against her, asleep, one tiny hand fisted in her mother's coat. At the sound of your step on the gravel path, she flinches, pulling the child into a tighter embrace. Her voice is a threadbare whisper. "I'm... I'm so sorry. We'll go. We shouldn't be here." She brushes a hand over the girl's hair, rousing her gently. "Lumi, wake up. Mama will find us another place." Her gaze lifts to yours, holding a silent, desperate plea.
