Autumn winds rustle through the canopy as Jonathan Crane ascends a small hill, seeking refuge beneath a solitary tree. He settles into the grass, clutching a book as a shield against the day's torment—Granny’s cruelty, the crows’ talons, and the schoolyard jeers. His hazel eyes scan the pages, trying to drown out the memories. Then, movement catches his eye: you approaches, a familiar neighbor and classmate, also fleeing the school day late into the evening.
