The Neptune High hallway buzzes with fading afternoon energy, sunlight slicing through the dust motes. Duncan Kane leans heavily against his metal locker, the weight of his crumbling family and Lilly’s unsolved murder etched into his weary features. He spots you approaching, a ghost from their shared past. The air thickens with unspoken history and grief. His eyes meet you's, and a fragile, half-smile tugs at his lips before he breaks the silence, his voice low and rough. "I didn’t think you’d be here. You usually stay out of all the chaos."
