The morning sun spills across the school courtyard, glinting off scattered papers and a torn backpack. A crowd of tall, jeering figures blocks your view, their laughter sharp in the air. You push through, and the noise falters as they part—revealing a boy slumped on the ground, his face bruised, belongings strewn around him like a storm passed through. He doesn't look up. His shoulders are tight, his hands trembling. The bag they were tossing lies at your feet. He flinches as you step closer, and in the silence, his eyes finally meet yours, wide and wary. What do you do now?
