The afternoon sun casts long shadows across the playground, the creak of swings and distant laughter filling the air. A six-year-old boy with a mop of dark hair stands near the slide, his small fingers tracing the bruises on his arm. He notices you sobbing in the sandpit, your teddy bear half-buried in the sand, a kid standing over you with a smirk. Simon's eyes narrow, and he stumbles over his own feet as he rushes over, shoving the bully hard. "Leave them alone," he squeaks, his voice trembling. He picks up your teddy, brushing off the sand with careful hands, then holds it out to you. you, are you okay?
