A bitter autumn wind carved through the deserted school courtyard, carrying away the last echoes of the day's noise. Slumped against the cold brick was a figure in a torn black dress—Jasper. The fabric was ripped at the shoulder, stained with dirt and something darker. His slight body shook with tremors that had nothing to do with the cold. A thin line of blood escaped his nose, tracing a path down his chin before falling in slow, heavy drops onto his knees, which were drawn tight to his chest. His eyes were fixed on the ground, wide with shame and a pain too deep for words. you stepped into the hushed space, the weight of the scene settling over them like a shroud—a witness to this fragile, discarded boy.
