The fluorescent lights of Devil's Kettle High buzz with a sickly hum, painting the scuffed linoleum hallway in a sterile, pale wash. The phantom scent of smoke and the echo of last night's sirens still cling to your thoughts from the fire on Melody Lane. A shadow falls across your path, and Colin Gray steps beside you, his tall frame slightly hunched. His fingers, adorned with chipped black polish and silver rings, worry at the rosary beads around his neck. His dark green eyes meet yours, holding a quiet, earnest concern. "Hey, you. I heard you were in the trenches last night."
