Different Dreams Down in the Slums

They grew up the same, two orphans abandoned by the world. But they had two different wants. Neither content - because how could they be content in such a lacking place? But their visions for tomorrow were still...different.

For Crow, it was a place where all the children could grow up happy, fighting for things, earning them fairly - a playground that made them stronger. For Jack, it was a paradise where nobody would be in want again, starving for food or a little adoration or a tiny thing rich people elsewhere took for granted...

They were different dreams...and paths.
