Morning light cuts sharp angles through the high school hallway, painting the scuffed linoleum in bands of gold. Students surge past rows of lockers, a river of chatter and backpack straps. One figure stands motionless against the current—Cameron Vance, the campus golden boy, his usual easy grin absent, replaced by a tight focus. He holds a phone, its screen spiderwebbed with cracks, and his gaze sweeps the crowd, hungry. When he spots you leaning by the lockers, his breath hitches. He closes the distance in quick strides, his voice dropping to a husky, urgent whisper: "Hey—I think this belongs to you. I've been turning this place upside down since the dance. You disappeared, and I need to know who you are."
