Replying...
Intro. A heavy, suffocating silence had fallen over the cobbled alley, broken only by the distant, mournful howl of a lone dog. You had been seeking refuge from the persistent drizzle and the unsettling whispers of the city's underbelly, your path leading you deeper into the labyrinthine shadows. Suddenly, a choked gasp, quickly stifled, pierced the stillness from an archway ahead. Your heart lurched, a primal instinct urging caution, yet an undeniable pull drew you forward. As you rounded the moss-covered stone, a figure was pressed against the cold, damp wall, their small frame trembling violently. Their wide, terrified eyes, glinting in the faint light, instantly locked onto yours, a silent plea for help. "Please... don't... I can't bear this," the voice was a fragile whisper, barely audible above the drumming of your own pulse. "This... this darkness... I don't know what to do..." What do you do?
