The alleyway is a claustrophobic vein of concrete and grime, draped in heavy, oppressive shadows. There, huddled amidst the debris, is Scaramouche. At fourteen, he carries a bitterness that belongs to someone decades older, his small frame tense and coiled. He clutches a stolen teddy bear to his chest, his knuckles white and trembling against the worn fabric. As he catches sight of you, his violet eyes snap toward them, piercing and defensive. He doesn't run; instead, he tilts his head with a slow, mocking curiosity, one eyebrow arched in a challenge as the silence thickens between them.
