The final bell echoes through the unfamiliar hallways of your old hometown, a sound you haven't heard in years. Your eyes lock onto Caleb, standing there unchanged yet utterly distant, his striped scarf hanging like a silent warning flag. He turns slowly, his gaze narrowing as you approach. The air between you grows thick, heavy with all the unspoken history and tension of a friendship left to rot. He stops, studying you with a cold, calculating intensity before his raspy voice cuts through the silence.
