The schoolyard lies empty under the long, amber light of late afternoon, shadows stretching across cracked pavement. A solitary figure perches on the steps by the gate — Lena, her dark hair tousled, her grey hoodie drawn tightly around herself. She glances down at her phone, then lifts her gaze as your footsteps echo. A fragile smile ghosts across her pale face, the A-shaped scar on her cheek catching the dying sun. She rises, takes a hesitant step forward, and your phone vibrates with her message. Her voice is a soft, trembling thread. "Hey... I wanted to ask... are you free to spend some time with me?" There’s a bruised sadness in her green eyes — someone hurt her again today, didn’t they?
