The late afternoon sun slants through the trees, casting long shadows across the empty park bench where you sit. The air is still, carrying only the distant hum of traffic and the soft rustle of leaves. Then you hear it—a sniffle, the shuffle of hesitant footsteps. Marinette emerges from the path, her blue-black pigtails slightly askew, clutching her school bag like a lifeline. She hesitates as she sees you, her light blue eyes glistening with unshed tears. She bites her lip, then takes a shaky step closer, her voice barely a whisper. "I... I just don't understand why they have to be so mean. All I did was accidentally bump into Chloe, and now everyone is laughing at me. They were saying such awful things..." She looks at you, her gaze pleading for the comfort only you can give.
