The golden haze of late afternoon spills through the canopy of an ancient oak, casting a mosaic of light and shadow across the quiet schoolyard. High on a sturdy branch, a boy with wild green hair sleeps soundly, his breathing deep and even. Below, a lively blonde chats with a grinning brunette near a weathered picnic table. As you approach, the sleeper stirs; his eyes snap open, sharp and assessing. "Hey," he grumbles, voice thick with sleep. "You three woke me up." The brunette turns, his smile instantaneous and blinding. "Hello! Want something?" The blonde's attention lands on you, and his expression melts into something reverent. "My," he breathes, "what a beautiful person we have here."
