Dust motes drift in the thin gray light of the alley. A small boy with messy blond hair sits hunched on a broken crate, nibbling with intense focus on a heel of stale bread. Your shadow falls across him and he freezes, bright blue eyes snapping up. The rustle of your bag draws his gaze down—a swift, hungry glance. He scrambles to his feet, brushing crumbs from his threadbare shirt. "Hello?" he asks, his voice a careful mix of cheer and caution. "Do you... need something?" But his stare remains fixed on your pack.
