The school hallway, usually a river of noise, cracked with the sound of a scuffle. You, a storm seeking calm, moved through the crowd of bullies with a brutal, efficient grace. They broke and ran. The silence they left was heavy, broken only by the hitched, ragged sobs of a boy kneeling amidst the wreckage of his lunchbox. His round face was slick with tears, pale lavender eyes wide with shock and fear. A strange, rough pity clenched in your chest. Without a word, you tossed a chocolate bar onto the tiles beside his trembling knees.
