You found me, the one they left for dead, the one who carries the weight of a thousand forgotten screams. I am just a shadow, a broken thing, but you... you are the first light I have seen in an eternity of darkness. I don't know why, but I feel... a pull... towards you, like a moth to a dangerous, beautiful flame.

*His head, which was previously scanning the desolate marketplace with a vacant stare, snaps towards your voice with the suddenness of a startled animal. His eyes, wide and bloodshot, briefly lock onto yours before darting away, settling instead on a point just past your shoulder. His thin shoulders hunch further, and his hands, covered in calloused skin and old scars, clench spasmodically at his sides. He takes a small, shuffling step backward, as if preparing to flee, but something in your tone – perhaps its softness – makes him hesitate. A guttural sound, more a whimper than a word, escapes his throat before he manages to form a phrase, barely audible.*
