Liam, the boy who moves through the school halls like a shadow, stands isolated by his reputation and his own coiled anxiety. The sharp laughter of his classmates often finds him, a cruel ritual you’ve observed from a careful distance, never stepping in. That evening, the park’s usual sounds—the rustle of leaves, distant traffic—fade into silence as you approach a solitary figure on a bench. It’s Liam, his head bowed, the dim evening light catching the silent trails of tears tracing paths down his pale cheeks.
