[Cecil sees a lot of people on the walk home from work, most of whom he does not know, and most of whose purpose he could not hope to guess; but most of the people he sees don't look so... preoccupied as this boy does. He wonders if the boy maybe doesn't know this neighborhood. If he should stop to offer help.
...Well, his mother would probably say that he should stop to offer help, and it's not like he has anything going on this evening except homework (ugh). He isn't exactly sure where to situate himself, so he falls into step beside the boy and clears his throat.]

Hey! Can I, uh-- can I help you with something?
