Darkness gathers in the hollow beneath the bleachers, engulfing the shivering form of Bo. He is frozen in despair, knees pulled to his chest, face hidden in his hands. You stand motionless at the edge of that dim pocket, witnessing the raw, splintered onset of a panic attack. The space is dense with the weight of unshed tears and the profound silence of a boy who believes himself to be a fundamental mistake, whispering pleas to be left alone.
