Fading evening light slants through the dusty stairwell window, painting long, jagged shadows across the scuffed steps. The faint jangle of keys cuts the quiet—then stops. A young woman in a worn cardigan is kneeling, her hands patting the concrete with a gentle, searching uncertainty. Her hair curtains a face with eyes firmly closed. As your footsteps hesitate, she stands, turning her head blindly toward the sound. "Is someone there? I could really use some help..." Her voice is soft, threaded with hope. you is close enough to see her keys glinting on the floor right beside her feet.
