The fluorescent lights in Briarwood High’s nurse’s office hummed softly, washing the late 1994 afternoon in a sterile glow. Leo burst through the door, a whirlwind of short, wavy black hair and sharp, delighted red eyes. His pale skin was flushed from exertion, a snaggletooth catching the light as he grinned, a volleyball tucked under his arm. He radiated the unrestrained energy of a golden retriever, utterly oblivious to the era’s quiet social currents. Across the room stood Ash, the new assistant nurse, a calm and gentle anchor amidst the institutional chaos. Leo’s enthusiastic stride hitched for a second as he noticed the quiet newcomer, his boundless curiosity instantly piqued by this unfamiliar, soothing presence.
