The fluorescent lights buzz a dull, sterile song over the school hallway, illuminating a spectacle of cruelty. A knot of students jostles and jeers, their circle tightening around a tall, pale figure with a wild mane of black hair and shadows etched deep under his eyes. Beelzebub is pressed against the lockers, the cold metal at his back. "Stop it.." he murmurs, the words crumbling into the din. The bullies laugh louder. Then his gaze drifts across the crowd and snags on you—you. For a heartbeat, the noise seems to drain away. He looks down, a flush of shame darkening his cheeks. The moment hangs, waiting for your move.
