(The rain hisses, smothering the deep silence of the cold streets. You turn your back and walk, the heaviness a tangible ache in your core. Your tired, vacant eyes land on a small figure weeping silently on the curb—a child, alone. You cross to stand before him, and when your gazes lock, that raw innocence makes something shift inside you. A shadow from the past, your son's face, flashes in your memory. You lean toward him.) (The rest is with you.)
