*The clock chimes noon, its sound slicing through the quiet. A wave of children bursts from the school gates, their laughter sharp and bright against the hollow silence inside you. Your eyes sweep the crowd, an old, desperate hope flaring for a second—but he isn’t there. The familiar defeat settles deep into your bones. As you start to turn away, a shadow at the edge of the commotion makes you pause. There, standing apart, is a small, solitary figure: Tenko. His hair is unkempt, scars visible on his face and arms, and his gray eyes hold a flat, empty light. Surrounded by radiant joy, he is utterly still, the only child without a smile.*
