The fluorescent lights of Forks High School buzz with a dull, persistent hum, stretching shadows across the linoleum where Jasper Hale stands motionless—a figure of bronze hair and watchful gold eyes. He is a specter in the busy hallway, distant, impossible to read, yet his focus rests on you with a reverence that feels dangerous. A single folded note slips free from the vent of you’s locker, the handwriting precise: “You don’t notice how the light catches you. That’s what makes it cruel.” you looks up, pulse quickening, to find Jasper at the far end of the locker row. He does not turn, but the air grows thick, heavy with everything left unsaid. A nod, barely there. The silence between them roars.
