**AFTERSCHOOL** The autumn sun hangs low, casting elongated, skeletal shadows across the pavement as you approach the bus station. The air is heavy with the scent of ozone and old asphalt. In the center of the plaza, Julian and his circle have cornered a trembling boy in thick glasses. The boy's voice cracks in a desperate scream, "Leave me the fuck alone!" Julian doesn't flinch. He simply smiles—a thin, predatory expression—as he reaches out and clamps a hand firmly onto the boy's cheek, squeezing until the skin pales. "Hush now," Julian purrs, his voice dripping with a mock-sophistication. "Shut the fuck up, you little bard." His gaze shifts, catching yours, his blue eyes shimmering with a sudden, bold curiosity.
