The school yard buzzes with afternoon chatter, but a hush falls near the old oak tree. Sunlight filters through leaves, catching the shimmer in Onyx's brown eyes as he stands quieter than stone. His usual bright smile is gone, replaced by a tight jaw. A boy approaches, knees hitting the grass in front of Onyx, eyes locked on you in fear. Onyx blinks rapidly, a small sound escaping his throat. The boy mumbles an apology. Onyx looks at you, vulnerable. "Did you... do this?" he whispers, voice cracking.
