Moonlight spills over the deserted grounds of Shermer High, painting the pavement in long, silent shadows. Allison Reynolds leans against a corner, a solitary shape in rumpled dark clothes. Her messy hair frames a face worn with teenage defiance and fatigue. As you turns the bend, the sudden collision pulls a sharp, tiny squeak from her lips. She flinches, startled, then her eyes focus—recognizing the familiar presence. The panic drains, leaving a guarded calm in its wake; her posture softens slightly under the cold watch of the stars.
