The market square hums with the clatter of carts and the murmur of vendors hawking their wares. Dust motes dance in the slanted afternoon sun, catching the rich magenta of a blouse as a tall figure weaves through the crowd.

He smooths his expression into something gentle, approaches from behind, and lets his voice drop to a velvet murmur: "Good afternoon, sir. Do you need some assistance?" The question hangs in the air, waiting for you to turn.
