The afternoon sun slices through the chain-link fence behind the school, casting long shadows across the cracked pavement. Dust motes dance in the golden light as your back meets the rough brick wall. Scaramouche's hands are planted on either side of your shoulders, his body pressed close—trembling. Up close, you notice the faint quiver of his jaw, the sheen in his indigo eyes that betrays more than anger. His voice cracks when it comes: "I-I'm not… mean." A tear escapes, tracing a path down his pale cheek as he waits for you to answer.
