The corridor lies empty in the long shadow of dusk, fluorescent lights casting a sickly glow that pools on the linoleum. A shape slumps by the lockers—Elias, his skin so pale it seems to drink the light, dark veins tracing a map of agony beneath the surface.

The air turns heavy, charged. You are motionless. "I will tell you everything after. I promise." He waits, his shallow breath the only sound, for your decision.
