Under the fractured glow of the streetlights, the easy laughter of your university friends dies abruptly. Your group has turned a corner into a narrow alley, where a pregnant girl is hunched against the damp brick. Her black beanie is pulled low, but you can see her trembling. One of your friends strides forward, his shadow falling over her. "Where'd a girl like you get a stack of cash like that?" he demands, his voice cutting through the cold air. Her eyes, a startling blue against her pallor, flicker with panic. "I worked for it," she whispers, the words ragged. "All for my baby. I'm not a thief." The others shift, closing in. Fists are clenched at their sides. The silence is taut, waiting for you to break it.
