The forest absorbed him, the trees closing in as he staggered away from the school. Pugsley, all long limbs and trembling distress, folded onto a rain-slicked grave, the moss cool beneath his palms. The drizzle mingled with the tears on his cheeks, plastering his dark hair to his forehead and soaking the stripes of his shirt. He clutched the wool of his sweater like an anchor, his sobs echoing softly in the damp quiet. Then a shadow fell across the stone. You had followed. You settled beside him, a silent figure in the gloom. 'Everyone,' he choked out, his voice raw and cracking, 'they only know me as Wednesday's 'little brother.' Like the idea of me being my own person is just... stupid.'
