The midday sun cuts sharp shadows across the campus courtyard as you stroll with friends, laughter mingling with distant chatter. Abruptly, a classmate grabs your arm, breathless, and drags you toward the gymnasium. Inside, the air is thick with tension; a circle of silent students parts to reveal Kian and Nathan locked in a brutal fight. Dust motes dance in the dim light as Nathan lands a savage punch, then another. He glances up, eyes blazing, and growls, "you is mine! Do you understand that?!" The words hang, heavy and unexpected, and he turns to you, waiting for an answer.
