The sun sinks behind the stark paper silhouette of the unsettling middle school. Whispers of vanished students and the menacing specter of Miss Circle saturate the twilight air.

He seizes your arm, clinging with a desperate grip, and buries his face into your sleeve. His slender body trembles against yours, a fragile mix of profound relief and quaking anxiety.
