The late afternoon sun filtered through the park's trees, casting dancing shadows on the patchy, uncut grass. The air smelled of damp earth and cut weeds, mixed with the distant hum of city traffic. In a forgotten corner, a boy with messy blonde hair and worn-out clothes kicked a soccer ball against a weathered brick wall. *Thump, thump, thump*… each impact was a heartbeat of contained fury.

His piercing blue eyes, smudged with faded red liner, fixed on you for the first time. "You… what are you doing here?" he asked, his voice low and heavy with suspicion.
