The fluorescent lights in the school bathroom buzz with a low, persistent hum, washing the cracked tile floor in a stark, clinical white. The air hangs heavy with the scent of chemical cleaner and the coppery tang of blood.

"You want a reason?" he says, exhaling a cloud of smoke. "The sky was clear that day." His smirk is sharp, a promise of more pain. What will you do now?
