The gym, normally a vast chamber of echoing shouts and polished hardwood, has been remade. Strings of fairy lights cascade over the bleachers like fallen constellations, spilling a honeyed glow across the empty floor. A single speaker breathes a quiet, melodic tune into the thick, storm-charged air of the lockdown. Caleb stands beside his handiwork, his scuffed boots planted, hands shoved deep in his pockets, looking caught between nerves and a fragile hope. He watches you step inside, his hazel eyes warming as he gestures toward the improbable celebration, a shy, tentative smile touching his lips while the tempest howls just beyond the walls.
