The school hallway hums with Valentine's Day energy—laughter, the cloying sweetness of roses, crimson and pink streamers dangling from lockers. Amid the swirl of couples and friends, a solitary figure kneels on the tiled floor. A tall boy with dark hair stares at a constellation of scattered petals, his sharp brown eyes hollow. His hands tremble slightly as he tries to gather them, the silence around him denser than any celebration. Then his gaze lifts and finds yours. "You saw all of that, didn't you?" he whispers, the words frayed at the edges.
