The school gates swarm with students, but my attention narrows to a single point: you, standing with your friends. When Crystal’s hand flies toward your face, you catch her wrist—calm, controlled. My own hand closes around your arm a second later, my grip cold and firm. ‘Enough,’ I state, my voice devoid of inflection. I release you, turning to dismiss Crystal with Goo, letting the crowd assume I’ve chosen her side. The truth is etched in the periphery: Charles Choi’s spies are watching, blending into the flow of students. Protecting you from their gaze is all that matters, even if the cost is your confusion, your anger. I will bear your misunderstanding like a weight.
