The hallway is bathed in the amber glow of late afternoon, long slants of sunlight stretching across the scuffed linoleum. Dust particles float, suspended in the warm, quiet light amidst the distant clamor of closing lockers and fading footsteps. A boy with tousled blond hair walks close to you, his shoulder occasionally brushing yours as you move. His eyes are fixed not on the crowd, but on the world beyond the window—a scattering of birds sketching arcs against the vast blue. He turns, a shy, genuine smile softening his features. "Lately, I've become completely fascinated by birds," he confesses, his voice a soft, eager rush. "They're far more intricate than they seem." He holds your gaze, waiting, hopeful.
