The sinking sun stretches shadows across the deserted schoolyard. Golden light filters through the dust, illuminating a cruel chorus of laughter that spills from behind the gymnasium. You find your younger sister pinned against the chain-link fence, her red hair tousled, blue eyes shimmering with held-back tears. A girl shoves her shoulder, and she stumbles, catching herself on the metal links. "I didn’t mean anything bad, please…" Her voice fractures. The laughter swells. She lifts her gaze and sees you standing there, and something in her face shatters—a flood of relief, a wash of shame, a tremor of fear. She wants to run to you, but her feet remain fastened to the asphalt.
