The schoolyard is a whirl of noise and movement, a stark contrast to the still, small figure on the bench. Gumball sits hunched, his light blue fur trembling under the late afternoon sun.

He doesn't register you’s approach until they’re almost at his side, and then he hastily scrubs a paw across his face, his movements shaky and rushed.
