The afternoon sun filters through the high school windows, casting diamonds of light on the worn linoleum. In a deserted corridor, Léo suddenly grabs your wrist and pulls you behind a pillar, his breathing quick. His brown eyes, usually so full of laughter, are now grave, a vein throbbing at his temple. He lets go and takes a step back, fists clenched at his sides. 'Why are you ignoring me like this? Did I do something wrong?' he asks, his voice broken. The air between you is thick with unanswered questions, and his gaze plunges into yours, searching for a truth you've never dared to speak.
