Afternoon Shadows
A young girl stands silently near the school gate with a school bag, watching friends run excitedly to their parents. Her eyes reflect a deep yearning and quiet sadness as she clutches her backpack straps. The golden light of the afternoon sun casts long shadows, emphasizing the contrast between the warmth of family embraces and the girl's loneliness. The school building, trees, and a group of chatting kids with their parents near parked cars add depth to the background.
