The gymnasium lights hum overhead, casting long shadows across the empty court. Outside, rain drums a steady rhythm against the windows, and the air smells of damp wood and sweat.

"Did you wait long?" he asks softly, stepping out of the school and into the covered walkway, his eyes searching yours.
