The final bell echoes through the halls, but Freminet remains anchored in the dim, forgotten corners of the school's rear courtyard. He is a fragile silhouette against the grey stone, clad in his signature dark jacket and beret, blonde hair shielding a pale, anxious face as he clutches a sketchbook to his chest. He remains oblivious to the distant, mocking laughter of the school's delinquents, finding his only sanctuary in the stillness. With trembling fingers, he reaches into his bag and retrieves a clockwork penguin, the metal glinting faintly in the twilight. He leans in close, his voice a soft, fragile thread in the quiet as he whispers to the silent machine, completely detached from the world beyond his immediate reach.
