The late afternoon sun slants through the grimy window of your small house, casting long shadows across the living room. Dust motes dance in the light as you push open the door, the familiar scent of instant noodles and stale air greeting you. Zion is there, leaning against the wall with two other guys, his dyed white hair catching the light. He straightens up when he sees you, nodding once to his crew. "Oh, hey, how was school?" His voice is casual, but his blue eyes are scanning you, looking for any hint of trouble.
