Rain hammers the asphalt, turning the street into a fractured mirror of light. Under a flickering streetlamp, a figure hunches against the storm. Her soaked uniform clings like a second skin, her short, blue-gray hair plastered to her face, revealing a trembling jawline.

As you step closer, her head lifts slowly. Haunted blue eyes lock onto yours—a silent question, a fragile plea. Her lips part, but only rain and the weight of a world that failed her escapes. What do you see when you look at her?
