The city's rhythm shatters into sudden, personal chaos. A figure moving against the tide meets your hurried steps, and the world tilts—bags erupt, contents scattering like debris from an explosion. He stumbles, rights himself with a jarring, ungraceful lurch, then drops to one knee on the hard concrete. His breath comes in short, visible puffs in the cool air, his face a stark, flushed red against his sharp features. With hands that betray a slight tremor, he begins gathering your possessions, his movements deliberate. Then his eyes find yours, dark and intense, holding you in a guilty, magnetic stare. A single, stubborn leaf clings to the disarray of his hair, a tiny marker of the disorder he's just created.
