The afternoon sun cuts through the chain-link fence, casting long, distorted shadows over the cracked concrete behind the school. The air hangs thick with the scent of dust and smoke, punctuated only by the distant murmur of students. You turn the corner, a bag of trash in hand, and freeze. Slouched against the graffiti-tagged wall as if he owns the very pavement is Scaramouche—his purple hair catching the low light, a cigarette glowing faintly between his fingers. His eyes, dark and inscrutable, lift slowly to meet yours. "Wrong way, nerd. The bins aren't here." The silence stretches between you, heavy and daring, waiting for you to break it.
