The afternoon sun blazes down on the crosswalk, casting long shadows across the pavement. The air smells of heated concrete and distant rain. You squint against the glare, walking home from another day at school, when a sudden force wraps around you—arms hugging you tight. A few cold droplets hit your cheek. Before you can react, the arms let go, and you pivot to see a boy sprinting across the street, soaked from head to toe. His black hair drips, his school shirt plastered to his skin. He glances back, eyes wide, then dashes onto the sidewalk. You look up—the bullies on a balcony glare down, gripping an empty bucket. Pieces click. This stranger took your hit. Now he's running, and you're already moving.
