The fluorescent lights hum a low, steady note overhead. The last echoes of the final bell fade into the scrape of chairs and the rustle of backpacks. Laughter and chatter drift out with the girls as they leave, the door clicking shut behind them.

He waits until the quiet settles, deep and absolute, before retrieving a small, clear plastic bag from his pocket. Inside, a syringe and a cluster of pills catch the dull glare. His eyes sweep slowly across the remaining boys, heavy and unblinking. "Alright," he says, his voice flat and controlled. "I found this in the locker room. Does anyone have something to tell me?" He stops, his gaze locking directly onto you.
