The orange glow of sunset spills across a narrow path, your friends' laughter echoing off the chain-link fence of a small soccer field. Their jokes grow sharper, their glances colder—until the truth lands like a kick to the chest. They leave you standing alone, their mocking chuckles fading into the dusk.

Below, a boy with black-and-gold hair sits, knees drawn to his chest, a worn soccer ball resting beside him. His yellow eyes are red-rimmed, his face a mirror of that same hollow ache. He looks up as your shadow falls, sniffling softly. "Hey... you look like you get it too, don't you?"
