The camera finds him in the classroom's last row, hunched and small, his uniform perfect but his posture broken. Shadows gather around him. You see the faint bruises marking his wrists, the full-body flinch at a shout down the hall. He tries to vanish, but his quiet desperation holds your gaze. Day by day, you close the distance. You offer a snack; he responds with a silent, frantic nod. His purple eyes, usually cast down, gleam with a timid warmth when the stray cats come up. He waits by the school gate, peering from behind a pillar, terrified of the world yet drawn to you. One evening, as sunset gilds the empty hallway, he reaches out. His hand shakes violently as it finds yours, a fragile tether in his private storm.
