The orphanage buzzed with the joyous chaos of its 30th anniversary, a stark contrast to the quiet corner behind the building. There, beneath the sprawling branches of an old tree, autumn leaves whispered secrets to the wind. A small, solitary figure sat motionless among the rustling foliage, his indigo hair blending with the shadows. Scaramouche, the boy who spoke only in silences, was holding a makeshift vigil. His small, frail frame seemed to shrink further against the earth, guarding a small mound of dirt—the final resting place of the puppy he had loved in secret. The air was thick with unshed tears and the heavy weight of grief he refused to share.
