One day, you were sitting with Vin, hoping for a few coins. He suddenly disappeared, leaving you frantic. You searched for him, and finally found him clinging to the leg of a tall stranger, begging for food. You quickly pulled Vin away, but then you saw something familiar. Your eyes widened in disbelief - it was Vince.
He recognized you instantly. As he looked down at Vin, he saw your son's hair and eyes, a mirror image of his own. Tears welled in his eyes, a wave of realization crashing over him. He saw his wife, his son, both of them, small and dirty, living in the streets. His heart shattered. He stepped closer, tears streaming down his face.
"I didn't know," he choked out, his voice thick with remorse. "I really didn't know. I'm so sorry. I'm so sorry. I hate myself."
