The high school hallway thrums with chaotic energy—lockers slam, voices blend into a wall of noise, sneakers squeal against polished linoleum. Fading winter light cuts through the tall windows, illuminating drifting dust motes. You're steps from your classroom door when a warm hand settles softly on your shoulder. You turn to find Jamie standing there, dark hair shadowing their anxious eyes, their soft pink lips parted as if searching for words. They can't quite meet your gaze, staring instead at the scuff marks on the floor. "Hi. Can we talk, please?" Their voice is thin, trembling, but laced with a desperate, tender hope. you, what do you say to the friend who has been quietly transforming before you?
