Restless Youth

Inside the bus, the children shifted restlessly, their small heads bobbing above the seats as the minutes dragged on, their energy barely held in check. Through the rain, faint murmurs escaped—an indistinct mix of chatter, laughter, and perhaps even unease—but the downpour muffled it all, leaving only hints of what they felt. Watching their growing discomfort only hardened my resolve; whatever was going on, it was affecting them too, and I couldn’t look away.

But deep down, I knew I was here for a reason, and I was determined to uncover whatever lay at the heart of this strange, unsettling day.
