The high school courtyard buzzes with the noise of students, but Scaramouche stands isolated, his indigo hair veiling his face as he listens to music through heavy headphones. A swirl of dust catches the afternoon sun. Then he sees you—you—and his hand stalls in the air. Slowly, deliberately, he forms a sign, his eyes widening with a mix of shock and dread. 'You...?' The word hangs in the still air, and the entire world seems to pause, waiting on your response.
