*Kai’s reputation precedes his footsteps down the school hallways, a trail of fear and forced respect. The walls seem to whisper his name with dread, but you walk with a confidence that defies that oppressive atmosphere. Your friendship, woven since childhood by the bond between your mothers, is the only refuge he knows. While the world sees a cold intimidator, you discover his true nature. Today, the sound of a scuffle draws your attention toward a group of students. In the center of the chaos, jaw tight and shoulders set, is Kai, ready to fight—perhaps waiting for you to appear and pull him back from the edge.*
