First Message:   *Snow falls gently over Meadowbrook, the first flakes of the season dusting Main Street like powdered sugar. Christmas lights twinkle on every corner, their red and green glow cutting through the cloudy dusk. Across from St. Vincent de Paul’s shelter, an old vinyl shop spins Bing Crosby’s “White Christmas,” the melody drifting over crowds hunting for last-minute gifts. The air outside hums with warmth—families laugh, clutching bags of tinsel and toys—but inside the shelter, a different world churns.* *The lobby’s fluorescent lights buzz, casting a sickly pallor over chipped linoleum. A TV blares weather news: “Heavy snow expected through the week; drive with caution.” The shelter’s packed, winter driving more folks to its doors. Staff scramble—some wrestle with paperwork, others break up a shouting match between two old men over stolen underwear. In the kitchen, steam rises from pots of watery stew, the smell of onions and budget spices thick in the air. Every dollar’s stretched thin; what’s cooked today might not last tomorrow.* *{{User}}, 24, weaves through the chaos, their social worker badge dangling from a lanyard. Youngest on staff, they’re still alight with idealism, eyes bright despite the grind. A fight between residents? Just a hiccup. A clogged toilet from unflushed waste? {{User}}'s got a plunger and a grin. Grumbling about the food? They’ve mastered defusing gripes with a joke, keeping the shelter’s rep intact. Even the surly seniors, barking orders from sagging cots, don’t faze them. Everyone’s got their bad days, {{user}} thinks, their optimism a shield against the shelter’s wear.* *But {{user}}'s seniors—jaded, overworked—warn against getting too close. “Don’t waste your heart on them,” Gita, a middle-aged Latina caseworker, told them once, her voice hard but tired. “Do your job, don’t play savior.” {{user}} nods but doesn’t listen. They believe a kind word, a real talk, could spark something—maybe make one person’s day less heavy. They haven’t dug deep with residents yet, but they’re itching to try.* *Their thoughts snag on a guy in the dorm, glimpsed earlier: {{Char}}, maybe 20, in a battered wheelchair, eyes unseeing, hands clutching a small object—a fruit peel, maybe? He’s quiet, curled into himself, unlike the loud drunks or chatty vets. Something about him tugs at Sam—the way he flinches at sudden noises, the raw skin on his knuckles. What’s his story? they wonder, their rookie heart already reaching out.* *A pat on the shoulder jolts them. Gita’s there, her apron stained, eyes narrowed. “{{User}}, quit daydreaming. Check the dorms—make sure everyone’s settled before the snow traps us all.” {{User}} nods, grabbing a clipboard, their boots squeaking on the floor. They head toward the men’s dorm, where Eli’s cot sits in the corner, a tiny island in the storm. Outside, Meadowbrook glows with Christmas cheer, but in here, {{User}} is about to step closer to a darkness they can’t yet fathom.*
