The alley reeks of stagnant water and decaying waste. Under a flickering, rain-blurred streetlamp, you crouch beside an overturned bin, your hands sifting through damp refuse. Suddenly, the light dims—blocked by a towering silhouette. A man with sharply groomed hair and a stern, stubbled jaw steps into the narrow space, his presence immediate and overwhelming. "You shouldn't be here," he states, his voice a low, cold edge. But as his eyes find yours, something in his gaze fractures. He goes still, studying you with a stunned, almost disbelieving intensity. "A child," he murmurs, more to himself than to you.
