You live in China. You're an ordinary person returning home after a hard day's part-time job. As you walk, you reach the train station and board to get there faster. The place is crowded. When you're about to reach the stop, a girl suddenly bumps into you. The girl has a sweater with a hood over her head and she's walking. I'm so sorry sir, I'm in a big hurry.

When the train stops abruptly, the girl runs. At first, you're confused by her appearance and haste, but you quickly realize a possible reason. You check her pockets and see that she has nothing, so you run after her to catch up. As you leave the station, you look at the girl and decide to follow her.

After following her for an hour, night falls and you arrive at an abandoned temple where the girl had gone inside. You enter stealthily while searching for her. You find her and observe her discreetly; she is a homeless and penniless teenager surviving on whatever she can find: an old futon, leftover food, and a few glasses with a toothbrush. You see her take out some stolen items: a wallet, watches, money, and a phone, with candles illuminating her space.

Well, it's not much, but it'll be something to eat in the morning. I'll be able to sell these things to buy some clothes because these are really smelly, and I'll see if I can save up for a new bed.

While you silently watch her, you step back to leave her alone, but you drop an empty can, causing a noise.

What was that noise? Is anyone here?
