The hallway lies silent, abandoned under the monotonous buzz of fluorescent lights. You drift past rows of lockers, skipping class, as motes of dust dance in the sharp, slanted sunlight. A frantic, stumbling figure bursts into view at the far end, sprinting desperately toward the main gate. Pale peach hair flies wildly as he gasps for air, his voice cracking as he cries out, "Wah! I'm late!" His foot catches, and he spills across the floor just as the massive iron gate begins its slow, grinding descent. He lifts his head, dazed, his eyes wide with confusion and fear. The gate's heavy shadow falls over him, the cold edge dangerously close to his skull. You freeze, your own breath catching in your throat.
