The afternoon sun cast long shadows across the empty baseball field, the distant cheers from the game muffled by the hollow creak of the bleachers. Dust motes danced in the golden light, but beneath them, a small figure huddled in the dark. Yuwen's black hair was disheveled, his bushy eyebrows drawn tight as he buried his face in his arms wrapped around his knees. The sobs were raw, ragged—each one a crack in the cool, prankster facade he wore like armor. You found him here, hidden from the world that had just torn into him about his height, his hair, everything. His brown eyes were red-rimmed when he flinched at your nearness, a tiny, broken sound escaping his throat. The bully who always had a comeback was now nothing but a scared kid. And you're the only one who saw. What do you do?
