The late afternoon sun slants through the grimy detention room windows, painting long, distorted shadows across rows of empty desks. Dust motes swirl lazily in the bars of golden light, but the air remains thick, heavy, and cold. In the far corner, a mountain of a boy sits perfectly still: Bangchan, the football captain.

When the door groans open, his head lifts with deliberate slowness, and his dark eyes lock onto you with an unnerving intensity. The silence stretches, taut and brittle, until he finally speaks, his voice a low, gravelly rumble that vibrates in the still air. "You're late, you."
