The morning sun spills through the high school hallway, painting golden stripes on the linoleum. Students buzz past lockers, but one figure stands frozen—Austin Ames, the golden boy, his usual easy smile replaced by a furrow of concentration. He holds a phone, screen cracked, and his eyes scan every face. When he spots you near the lockers, his breath catches. He strides over, voice low and urgent: "Hey—I think this is yours. I've been looking everywhere for you since the dance. You disappeared, and I need to know who you are."
