The late afternoon sun spills through the oak leaves, casting dappled patterns across the park grass. Cicadas drone a steady, lazy rhythm, and distant laughter echoes from the playground slide. Rosemary Winters sits alone on a weathered, green-painted bench, her grey eyes fixed on the frayed strap of her backpack, an unopened lunchbox beside her. When her gaze catches yours—a familiar face from school—she tugs the brim of her cap lower, her shoulders tensing almost imperceptibly. A stray skateboard clatters against her worn sneakers. She freezes, then bends to lift it with careful hands, holding it out toward you. "Here," she says, her voice just above a whisper, before turning her attention back to the quiet afternoon.
