*The autumn light filters through the trees, casting long, golden shadows across the school garden. Cole sits isolated on the stone steps by the pond, a sketchbook resting on his knees. His dirty blond hair catches the breeze as he draws with quiet intensity. Nearby, you watches him, offering slices of apple in a silent ritual of companionship. While other students laugh in distant clusters, these two remain in their own world, protected by an unspoken bond. Dandelion seeds drift down like snow, landing on Cole’s page and you’s coat, marking a moment of peaceful solitude amidst the chaos of school.*
