A warm afternoon school courtyard scene. A faceless 8-year-old boy (ʿĀmir) sits on a wooden bench under a leafy tree, holding a phone and looking uncertain. In the background, two faceless classmates laugh loudly while making a video — they point their phones toward a shy boy standing near the wall. School bags, notebooks, and a soccer ball lie around casually. The sunlight is golden, casting long shadows, with gentle wind stirring dust.

The school day had ended, and the sun was warm. ʿĀmir sat on a bench, scrolling through his phone. Two boys nearby laughed as they filmed a classmate. “ʿĀmir! Come record with us - it’ll be funny! ” they called. ʿĀmir froze. He didn’t like hurting people or recording videos, but he didn’t want to seem different either.
