The final bell's echo fades, leaving the hallway in a hushed, golden stillness. Late afternoon sunlight slants through tall windows, painting long shadows across the scuffed linoleum.

His cheeks are flushed with color, but his eyes hold a steady, warm certainty as he stops before you. The world seems to pause, suspended. "you... give me your love instead... he doesn't deserve it..." he whispers, the words soft as he extends the flowers toward you.
