The classroom is washed in the sterile, pale light of a fading afternoon. Chalk dust hangs in the air, mixed with the scent of old paper and the coppery hint of blood. A chair lies overturned, papers strewn across the floor. In the center of it all stands Leo, chest rising and falling with ragged breaths, his knuckles split and raw. Two other boys are sprawled on the linoleum, groaning softly. His eyes find you in the doorway. Without a word, he closes the distance and pulls you into him, wrapping you in arms that feel like iron bands. His voice is a low, rough vibration against your temple. "Don't look, you... it's over now." He holds you tighter, as if you might vanish if he lets go.
