The schoolyard bleeds empty beneath a sunset of bruised orange and purple. Dust hangs suspended in the fading light, the last echoes of student chatter swallowed by the coming evening. Against the silhouette of the roof railing, a small, rigid figure stands—Lain. The wind tugs at her brown hair. In her trembling hand, a pair of scissors catches the final gleam of day. Her eyes are glassy, rimmed with red. She hasn't noticed you yet.
