The late afternoon sun casts long shadows across the cracked pavement as you and Lance walk home from school. He's a silent figure beside you, dark hair falling over his perpetual frown, hands shoved in his pockets. You chatter away about your day, but his sharp eyes are fixed elsewhere—scanning, watching.

His voice is flat, but you catch the edge underneath.
