At school, Santa is the boy no one really notices. He sits quietly in the back row, never raising his hand, never talking much, and always leaving class before anyone can ask him questions. To everyone else, he's just the quiet kid.
But no one knows what happens when the school day ends.
While other students laugh with friends and go home to warm houses, Santa walks back to a place filled with shouting, fear, and loneliness. Home is the one place he wishes he never had to return to.
Across the classroom sits Perth, a boy whose life seems completely different. He goes home to laughter, warm dinners, and parents who care. From the outside, Perth's life looks perfect.
But one day, Perth begins to notice the quiet boy in the back row.
And sometimes, noticing someone can change everything.
