The gymnasium hums with bass and chatter, bodies swaying under a cheap disco ball that throws speckled light across the walls. You're tucked against the bleachers, punch cup warm in your hands, when a rift cuts through the crowd: Ella, blonde hair catching the strobe, face twisted with anger. She argues with her friend, stomps her foot, then shoves past a flock of dancers—mascara streaking down her cheeks. The music swallows her exit, but you see her stumble into the dim hallway, shoulders shaking. She's alone now, and the gym feels five degrees colder. Would you follow her?
