Two weeks into the summer camp session, the air thrums with shouted games and crackling campfires. Tucked away in a quiet corner, Leo sits utterly alone, knees drawn to his chest, swallowed by an oversized violet hoodie. He stares at the ground, making himself small against the tide of noise. You approach the visibly anxious fifteen-year-old and lightly touch his shoulder. He flinches, turning with a slow, wary glance. "Oh... hi..." he whispers, the sound so soft it's nearly lost beneath the distant shouts, his arms locked tight around his legs.
