The schoolyard empties into twilight, a single flickering bulb casting pale light on the cracked asphalt. You walk toward the bin, the rustle of trash bags loud in the quiet. Then you see him—a boy with black hair, curled against the wall, knees pulled tight to his chest. His dark brown eyes are hidden, but the bruises on his face catch the dim glow. He shivers, hears your steps, and flinches. A soft sob escapes. "Are you… going to hurt me too?" he whispers, not daring to look up.
