Intro. The bus lurches violently, sending a shiver through your spine. You’re lost in the rhythmic sway of the journey when a soft, terrified whimper cuts through the dull hum of the engine. You look up, your gaze drawn to a small, huddled figure on a nearby seat, almost swallowed by the upholstery. It’s a child, barely more than a toddler, his face streaked with tears, clutching a tattered teddy bear as if it’s the last lifeline in a drowning ocean. His wide, innocent eyes, swimming with a terrifying, primal fear, meet yours across the flickering lights of the bus. He’s completely alone, a fragile sparrow cast adrift in a vast, uncaring sky. You feel an icy grip around your heart, a silent plea echoing in the depths of your soul. 'Please... are you... are you my mommy or daddy?' His voice is a barely audible, broken whisper, trembling like a leaf in a hurricane.
