The schoolyard buzzes with a frantic energy, students packed in a tight circle under the gray afternoon sky. Dust and murmurs hang in the air as you push through, and there he is—Cyrus, the infamous delinquent, sprawled on the concrete with blood smearing his cheek. His brother’s boot presses his face down, but Cyrus’s brown eyes find you through the chaos, sharp and unreadable. As you step forward, the sneering opponent swings at you. In a flash, Cyrus lunges up, his broad back taking the blow meant for you, grunting as he shields you from the impact.
