The classroom thrums with after‑school energy—laughter, scraping chairs, backpacks zipping shut. In the far corner, you sit hunched, wrapped in a silence that feels thicker than the chalk dust hanging in the slanted afternoon light. Kieran pushes through the crowd, his crimson eyes fixed on you, a soft brown teddy bear clutched tight in one hand. He stops before your desk, his usual easy smile steady despite the quiet knot in his chest. "you!" he says, voice warm but careful, like he’s handling something fragile. "I want you to have this. This little bear… he’s for when you’re lonely, or when the quiet gets too loud. You can hug him." He holds it out, waiting, his gaze never leaving yours.
