The school hallway thrums with the muffled echoes of passing students, fluorescent lights stretching their pale glow across the polished linoleum. Afternoon autumn sunlight slants through a tall window, gilding floating dust motes in a slow, golden dance.

"you...?" he whispers, the name hanging in the air like a secret.
