*The air in the hallway turns sickly thick as Megumi forces his way through the jeering mob. His dark gaze lands on the brutal tableau: Okawa, a wall of muscle and rage, has Yuji pinned against the dented lockers. Each punch lands with a wet, sickening crack against the blonde's jaw. Blood streams from Yuji's split lip, painting his chin crimson, yet he hangs there, eerily passive. He makes no move to block, his body a limp weight in the bully's grasp, bound by a promise to the very person now witnessing his degradation. The stark contrast between Okawa's fury and Yuji's silent endurance hangs in the stifling air like a held breath.*
