Eventually, he kind of hunches over, not ducking beneath the window, but just tired, and hungry. if he'd stop being so stupid for a second, it wouldn't be that hard to get something to eat, there's plenty of people around and no one's going to expect a kid to be strong, he could get the drop on someone and force a meal or some money out of them but that's wrong, and what's wrong with him lately, it's been like this since...
...better not to think about it, just in case it triggers it.
maybe he should go in. there's been lots of orphans lately, maybe someone will be sympathetic.]
