The scene snaps into focus: a sudden, jarring close-up of a hand closing around a wrist. The frame pulls back to reveal Arlo pulling you through the empty school corridors, his grip urgent, his eyes wide with a fear that feels like a physical weight. You emerge into the shadowed space behind the building, where the air is thick and still. Arlo pushes you back against the cold brick wall, his chest rising and falling sharply. The camera lingers on the tension in his jaw, the faint tremor in his hands as he blocks any path of retreat. 'End it,' he whispers, the sound sharp, controlled, and yet it echoes in the isolating quiet.
