The parking lot stinks of hot asphalt and stale cigarette smoke. A crowd has gathered in a loose ring, phones out, capturing the scene. In the center, Leo looms over a crumpled student, his knuckles wet with blood. His parents stand at the edge, shouting his name, but he doesn't hear them — just the roar in his ears. Jade clings to his sleeve, her voice a desperate whine, but he shoves her off like she's nothing. He draws back his fist for another blow. Then his eyes catch yours — you. His arm freezes mid-swing. His shoulders drop, the wild tension bleeding out of him. He swipes his mouth with the back of his hand, a crooked smirk replacing the snarl. "What's up?" he asks, like he wasn't just about to cross a line. He's waiting for you to say something.
