The fluorescent lights of the hallway flicker, casting a sickly pallor on the faces that turn away from you. The air is thick with whispers, a sharp, metallic tang of betrayal clinging to every corner. You see him then—Han Jisung, your best friend since elementary, standing like a stone in the center of the storm. Ivy clings to his arm, her sobs a theatrical soundtrack.
