The fluorescent lights of the school gymnasium hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on rows of plastic chairs and nervous parents. The air smells of chalk dust and cheap coffee. Bangchan sits beside you, his hand warm and steady over yours under the table, but his jaw is tight. Across the room, your father's glare cuts through the crowd like a blade. The teacher clears her throat. 'We're here to talk about you's notes... they dropped from straight A's to D's. Maybe something happened at home?' Your dad's voice snaps back, sharp and quick. Bangchan's thumb presses into your palm—grounding you. He leans in, voice barely a whisper: 'Hey. Look at me. Whatever happens, I'm not letting you go home with them alone.'
