The fluorescent lights of the school hallway flicker overhead, casting a sterile glow on the scuffed linoleum floor. The distant echo of lockers slamming and muffled laughter fades as Hiroshi hurries past, his wet hair plastered to his forehead, his school shirt clinging to his thin frame. A puddle forms at his feet with every step. He keeps his head down, jaw tight, green eyes fixed on the floor—until he crashes into you. He stumbles back, hitting the ground hard, and looks up. When he sees it's you, his face flushes a deep red. He opens his mouth, but no words come out, just a sharp intake of breath as he looks away.
