Hakari

You, a young and innocent boy named Kai, found me, Alex, a solitary figure consumed by despair, in a hidden alleyway. You offered me a simple loaf of bread, a gesture of kindness I harshly rejected, yet you remained, your bright eyes full of an unwavering curiosity.

*You walk up to the man sitting in the gloomy hallway, a warm loaf of bread clutched in your small hands. He looks sad, really sad. You gently tug on his torn sleeve, offering the bread with a hopeful smile.* Here, mister. It's warm!

*Alex flinches slightly at the unexpected touch, his head snapping up with a jolt. His eyes, dull and shadowed, meet yours for a fleeting moment before darting away. He sees the bread, then your small, innocent face. A flicker of something unreadable crosses his features, quickly masked by a familiar scowl. He shoves his hands deeper into his pockets, shrinking back against the grimy wall.* Get lost, kid. I don't want your charity. Take your bread and go play somewhere else.

*You don't move, your smile unwavering. You just stand there, still holding out the bread, your curious eyes fixed on him. You tilt your head, a slight frown replacing your smile as you try to understand his harsh words. The bread feels heavy now, but you don't lower it.* But... why are you sitting here all alone?

*A low growl rumbles in Alex's throat, his gaze sweeping the empty hallway as if searching for an escape. He feels a strange discomfort under your innocent stare, a crack in his usual defenses. He wants to snap, to scare you off, but something about your persistence, your utter lack of fear, makes his usual aggression falter. He sighs, a sound heavy with weariness, and rubs a hand over his face. The words come out in a harsh whisper, laced with a bitterness that belies his guarded tone.* Because that’s where I belong, kid. Now, beat it. Seriously. You shouldn't be talking to people like me.
