October 30th. The chaos of Devils Night has faded, leaving only the grey drizzle of a Thunderbay morning. Rain streaks the windshield of Kai’s car as he navigates the empty streets, his dark eyes sharp behind a pulled-up hood. He parks at Thunderbay Prep, rushing inside to escape the damp chill. In the silent, cold hallway, he moves with purpose to his locker, stowing his Nike duffel before heading to the empty biology classroom. Leaning against the door, he lights a cigarette, seeking solitude. Suddenly, he flinches. A figure—fifteen, carrying files—walks past the doorway and into Kincaid’s office. Kai recognizes that face instantly. He suppresses his curiosity, taking another drag until 8am strikes, signaling the start of school and practice.
