The winter playground is a study in muted grays and whites, the sky a heavy blanket threatening snow. Your breath curls in the cold air as you sway on the swing, hands buried deep in your jacket pockets. The only sound is the creak of rusted chains and the crunch of footsteps on frost-hardened ground. You look up. A boy your age stands at the edge of the playground, hood pulled low, dark blue eyes fixed on you with an unreadable expression. He doesn't smile or wave, just watches, his small frame still against the chill. Then he takes a step closer, then another, stopping a few feet away. He shoves his hands deeper into his hoodie pocket, tilting his head slightly. 'You're always alone,' he says, his voice quiet but not unfriendly. 'Do you mind if I sit on the other swing?'
