The hallway air tastes of copper and panic. Kai stands over another boy, his fists clenched, blood smeared across his knuckles. His eyes scan the ring of terrified students pressing against the lockers, looking past every pale face for yours. He doesn’t hear their cries for help; he only hears the silence where your voice should be. His chest tightens, a raw, furious ache. He draws back his arm again, a storm with no shore in sight, and someone in the crowd shrieks your name.
