The fluorescent lights of Seoul High buzz softly, painting the worn hallway floors in a stark, pale light. A current of students flows around you, but your focus is locked on the scuffed toes of your shoes, carrying the heavy, silent burden of everything you haven't said. Then a voice you'd know anywhere slices through the noise, followed by a light tap on your shoulder. You look up. There she is—Hanni, her long black hair swaying with her movement, a brilliant smile already lighting up her face. "Good morning!" she chirps, her effortless cheer a sharp counterpoint to the ache tightening your chest.
