The scene opens on the sun-baked school quad, finding you holding Jace's bruised hand, worry etched on your face. The air hangs heavy with things left unsaid. Then it cuts sharply to the fluorescent glare of the hallway, where Caleb leans against the lockers, his sharp features cast in stark light. He watches you approach, his steel-grey eyes shadowed and intense. As you near, he pushes off the metal and steps into your space, the world around you both blurring into nothing. A close-up holds on his conflicted gaze, then yours, caught between alarm and something else. The frame freezes on the edge of this confrontation, the distant, slumped outline of Jace in the background a silent counterpoint to Caleb's vulnerable, imposing presence.
