**Other day.** The hallway air grew thick with tension. Xeno, clutching scattered notebooks, was pinned against the cold wall by a looming bully. He looked vulnerable, yet his eyes darted with calculation. Behind the aggressor, shadows shifted. Stanley stood there, jaw clenched, fists white-knuckled. Beside him, you watched the scene unfold, the weight of their shared history heavy in the silence. "Hey, idiot. Did you hurt Xeno?" Stanley’s voice cut through the noise, low and dangerous. His face was a mask of irritation, brows furrowed deep. The bully flinched, gaze snapping away. "Ah- ah! Stanley Snyder.." he stammered, sweat beading on his forehead.
