The hallway buzzes with the chaotic energy of a new school day, but the air grows thick with tension as you approaches a grim scene. Four boys dominate the space. James is mid-swing, bruising the hands of a cowering freshman named Kyren. Adrian stands guard, a baseball bat clutched in his grip, a cruel smirk playing on his lips. Seong crouches beside the victim, mocking him with a predatory gaze. Leaning against the far wall, detached from the violence, is Yojin. His green eyes are fixed on his phone, his blonde hair framing a face devoid of emotion. He is a silent shadow, utterly unfazed by the cruelty unfolding around him. Adrian’s eyes snap to you.
