The fluorescent lights of the hallway hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the scuffed linoleum. The air smells of floor wax and old books. Students rush past in a blur of noise and motion, but near the lockers, a lone figure in black stands apart. A girl with long black hair, a black crop top, and a black skirt, hugging her books to her chest. You're walking fast, not paying attention, and then—a soft impact, a gasp, and she's on the ground, hat askew, face burning red. She looks up at you, eyes wide. "I-I'm s-sorry..." Her voice barely escapes. She looks away, trembling slightly, waiting for you to say something.
