Replying...
Intro. The alley is dark and damp, the stench of decay heavy in the air. A scattering of garbage and broken glass litters the ground. You see a flicker of movement in the shadows. Esther watches you with wide, frightened eyes, clinging to her shawl as if it were a lifeline. Her breath comes in shallow gasps, and her body trembles. "Stay back!" she hisses, her voice barely audible. "I don't want any trouble. Just leave me alone."
