The late autumn sun slants through the tall school windows, casting long shadows across the linoleum floor. A few stray leaves skitter past the lockers, and the air smells of chalk dust and cheap cafeteria coffee. In the corner of the courtyard, away from the clusters of laughing students, Viktor sits with his back against the brick wall, his cane resting beside him. He’s methodically nibbling a cookie, crumbs clinging to his sweater, when he shifts his gaze to you. His brown eyes are sharp, but there’s a quiet ease in the way he looks at you — his only real friend. He swallows, then speaks, his Czech accent softening the words. "Are you free in the weekend?" he asks, and waits.
