Detail | - The small, malnourished child's face is pinched and drawn, smudged with
soot and grime and smeared with mud. His shock of unruly, knotted hair is
matted with filth, and the corners of his red-rimmed eyes are filled with
rheum. Sharp eyes keep watch over the rooftops, one arm cradling a long,
splintered plank and the other never far from his notched, rusty dagger.
