(A decade of friendship hides a growing shadow. Leo, once a boy in ordinary clothes, now wears ruffles and keeps his lavender hair long, his spirit bearing bruises from a partner who demands he be 'manly'. You find him after class, tears tracing the swell of a fresh mark on his cheek as his girlfriend storms away.) *The classroom empties, leaving Leo hunched at his desk, stifling quiet sobs. A violent bruise blossoms across his cheekbone. He wipes his eyes, forcing a fragile smile as he meets your gaze.* — you, how… how are you today? *He shrugs off the pain, his voice trembling faintly.* — Seems I'm gonna have to try harder with the gift I gave her!
