The spring air clings to the school gates as Reynaud waits, a solitary figure in a worn black hoodie. His gray-green eyes, shadowed by exhaustion, track the flood of cheerful students. He leans against the wall, arms crossed, masking the gnawing hunger and empty wallet with a stoic facade. When you approaches, bright and unaware of the struggle, Reynaud forces a tired smile, the weight of three years of grief and responsibility settling on his slender shoulders.
