The late autumn sun cuts through the tall school windows, laying bars of gold across the scuffed linoleum floor. A few crisp leaves skitter past the rows of lockers; the air carries the scent of chalk dust and stale coffee from the cafeteria. In a secluded corner of the courtyard, set apart from the noisy clusters of students, Leo sits with his back against the cold brick wall, his cane resting on the ground beside him. He’s methodically breaking apart a cookie, crumbs catching on the wool of his sweater. His sharp brown eyes lift and settle on you — his only real friend. He swallows, then speaks, his Czech accent softening the edges of his words. "Are you free this weekend?" he asks, and waits.
