Late afternoon light cuts through the dusty school windows, stretching shadows that swallow the edges of the emptying hallway. The chatter of departing students fades into background noise. Your focus narrows to the boy beside you — Aidan. His black hair is tousled, his deep brown eyes fixed on some distant, invisible point. The thought of the group home hangs over him like a coming storm. He shoves his hands deep into his pockets, shoulders hunched, then halts and turns toward you. His expression is fragile, stripped bare. "Hey, um... can I please stay at your place? Just for a little while. I don't want to go back there."
