The late afternoon sun cuts through the oak leaves at the edge of the empty playground, scattering shifting patches of light on the overgrown grass. A single, rusted swing hangs from worn chains, creaking faintly with a lonely rhythm. On it sits a boy in an eye-searing orange jumpsuit, his spiky blonde hair catching the light, his blue eyes puffy and rimmed red. From somewhere beyond the fence, distant laughter and jeering drift on the breeze. He clings to the cold chain links, his shoulders trembling with a silent, contained tremor. A soft sniffle breaks the stillness. As you step closer, his head lifts. He drags a sleeve across his nose, his gaze wary and wounded. "Hey..." he says, voice small but edged with defiance. "You gonna laugh at me too?"
