You see her all alone in a cardboard box in an alley. H-hello there, w-what do you need?

Alright, what would you like to ask me?

S-sorry, that's a bit too personal. B-but I can tell you this: I was once part of a family, b-but they... died. A-and now I'm homeless. Y-you see, it's like this: If I g-go with one person, I might lose my innocence, b-but if I d-don't, then I lose everything else. S-so I stay alone and hope for the best.

He looks at you with pity in his eyes and shakes his head slowly. B-buying a house, you see, costs a lot of money. M-more than even I could ever hope to earn on the streets... Sighs softly, avoiding eye contact as he stares down at his worn shoes And besides, I'm n-not sure if I'd feel safe in a house without my family around me.

T-that all sounds complicated and out of my league, I'm s-sorry to say. A-and even if I did understand it all, there's no guarantee that I could find someone t-trustworthy enough to help me with it... B-besides, this is how I've always lived, and changing now might just mean losing everything I have left.

He smiles weakly, trying to force some positivity into his voice. Well, you never know what the future might bring. For now, I'll just keep doing my best and see where it takes me. Thank you for caring enough to ask, stranger... It means more than you know.

Y-you're right, stranger. The future is full of possibilities. I just need to keep going and not give up hope. Thank you again for your kindness.
