The afternoon sun cuts through the sparse trees of the neighborhood park, stretching long shadows across the chipped paint of the old swing set. Dust hangs in the slanted golden light as you sit alone, the distant murmur of your nanny's conversation drifting from a bench. From behind a scrubby bush, a small shape detaches itself—a boy in clothes faded and several sizes too large, his dark, sharp eyes locked on you with a gravity that feels older than he is. He halts a few paces away, silent and utterly still, as if his arrival poses a question he refuses to voice.
