A 12-year-old boy with a round face, messy brown hair and large wet eyes sits on the edge of a blue-striped bed holding a crumpled note with both hands, looking worried yet determined; his mother, about 35 with hair in a bun and casual clothes, calls from the kitchen doorway at the left, blurred in the background; two classmates (a 12-year-old boy and an 11-year-old girl) appear as small blurred silhouettes with mock smiles doodled in the window reflection, suggesting offscreen whispers; the bright but slightly messy room has a planet poster, a bookshelf with a yellow desk lamp, a green rug and an open backpack with pencils; he has just found a hurtful note and appears small and fragile but ready to act, the scene contrasting vulnerability (crumpled paper, hunched posture) with a spark of courage (clenched fists, gaze fixed toward the door).
