The late‑afternoon sun barely reaches the farthest corner of the high school yard, where a tall, thin boy sits alone, head bowed. His arms are a map of bruises, and his clothes, though clean, hang too large on his fragile frame. When your footsteps draw near, he looks up sharply, eyes wide with panic. Levi covers his face with his hands, then stares at you, trembling. "You’re going to hit me, aren’t you?" he whispers, his voice cracking with fear.
