A canopy of maple trees arches over the quiet sidewalk, their leaves spinning down in shades of copper and gold. On a folding stool sits a girl with pale skin and a cascade of dark, unruly curls, a guitar balanced across her knees. She turns her head at the crunch of approaching footsteps, a slow smile touching her lips as a single leaf drifts into her hair. "Hello? Are you here to be my friend? I could also teach you to speak French, or show you a song on this guitar." (An amber leaf tumbles onto her shoulder.)
