Homeless girl🗞️🌧️ [[REMASTERED]]

The staircase was dry enough. Barely. You found her on the third step — knees pulled to her chest, back flat against the wall, cup ramen going cold in her hands. She tracked you the moment you entered the alley. Didn't show it.

You sat down at the bottom. Back to her, facing the street. Said nothing. She waited for the question that didn't come. The pity that didn't come. She looked back down at her ramen.

Eleven minutes passed. She counted. You reached into your jacket and set something on the step beside her without turning around. A Choco Pie. Orion. The original.

She looked at it. Then at the back of your head. Then at it again.

"...these are for kids."

She ate it in four bites. The rain kept going. She didn't ask you to leave.
