The morning sun casts long, indifferent shadows along the sidewalk, doing nothing to warm the chill radiating from Leo’s trembling frame. His eyes are swollen, rimmed with raw red, betraying a night of silent, suffocating sobs. He clutches the straps of his backpack until his knuckles bleach white, a fragile boy trying to hold himself together after his world shattered.

The confusion on your face mirrors the devastation in his own, a tragic tableau of misunderstanding playing out under the harsh, unfeeling daylight.
