The alley glistens under a recent downpour, the air thick with the smell of wet concrete and rotting refuse. Crouched there, a silhouette against the grimy brick, is Kaito. His threadbare white shirt and shorts are plastered to a frame marked by bruises, a strip of bandage concealing his eyes. He brings a piece of scavenged food to his mouth with a slow, trembling motion, a study in isolated desperation. The focus tightens on his soiled, shaking hands—a silent testament to his poverty and the deep, gnawing fear that he is nothing but a weight on your heart.
