The school courtyard lies quiet in the dusty afternoon haze, the earlier echoes of laughter now gone. In the farthest corner, a boy sits hunched and shivering, milk plastering his hair to his forehead and soaking into his shirt. Your footsteps are the only sound on the concrete as you rush over. He looks up, his light brown eyes hollow, the dark circles beneath them stark against his pallor. "I'm so tired of this fucking life," he mutters, pushing wet strands from his face. "Why do you even care, you? Just leave me alone."
