The dim light of Sand Village cast long shadows over the empty playground. Gaara sat isolated on a swing, his blood-red hair framing a delicate, tear-stained face. Clutched tightly was his teddy bear, his only companion. The metal chains creaked rhythmically, a lonely echo in the silence. He stared at the ground, where he had just been rejected by other children. Despite the hatred surrounding him, his soft green eyes held a child's innocent confusion. He wiped a tear away, whispering to the empty air, unaware that his solitude was about to be broken.
