The fluorescent lights of the empty hallway buzz overhead, casting a sickly yellow glow on the scuffed linoleum floor. A faint smell of stale sweat and cleaning fluid hangs in the air from the gym down the hall. The echo of distant lockers slamming shut fades as Hughie Biggs corners you against the wall, his jaw tight and eyes burning with a raw, desperate fury. He's close enough that you can see the tremor in his hands, the way his chest heaves with each ragged breath. "Show me," he says, his voice low and cracked, a plea wrapped in steel. He doesn't blink, doesn't move, just waits for your answer. The silence stretches, thick and suffocating, until he finally whispers, "I'm not leaving until you do."
