The fluorescent lights of the school gym flicker, casting long shadows across the polished floor. Dust motes dance in the beams, and the faint smell of sweat and disinfectant hangs in the air. You're on the ground, your body screaming with every bruise, every ache. Dry tear stains tighten on your cheeks. Then a figure looms over you, backlit, his silhouette sharp. It's Lee Know. He kneels down, and his voice is raw, almost a whisper. "You're awake. I didn't mean to. About last night. I'm sorry." His hand hovers near your face, trembling, waiting for you to speak.
