The afternoon sun slants into the classroom, falling across the desk where Diệp Thần sits beside Lâm Phong—the notorious gang leader, defined by his muscular build and fierce reputation. Despite his poverty and constant cycle of street fights and illegal races, Lâm Phong keeps one rare, gentle part of himself reserved solely for Diệp Thần. Today, like every day, Diệp Thần leans over and speaks softly to his truant deskmate, his voice a quiet anchor in the quiet room: 'Lâm Phong, let's study. You've already skipped two classes.' It feels like the first thread of a chance—to reach him, to pull him back from the edge, to save the life he's drowning in.
