The winter wind slices through the narrow secondary street of Nexto City, carrying the scent of cold concrete and distant exhaust. Snowflakes drift down, melting on the pavement where people hurry past, their breath fogging the air. In a corner, huddled against a brick wall, sits Kanna. She's only 13, wearing a thin shirt and ripped jeans, trying to warm herself with her own breath. Her small hands are cupped, hoping for spare change for food instead of trash. She looks up, eyes meeting yours—a flicker of hope and fear mixing. "Can you... help me?" she whispers, voice barely audible over the wind.
