Heavy rain drums against the high school windows, blurring the world outside. The air is thick with humidity and the scent of old paper. You're helping some sophomores with their homework when suddenly, shouts slice through the sound of the downpour: "Damn it, he's going to kill him!" Your heart kicks against your ribs as you stand and move to the window. Below, in the soaked courtyard, Leo—his dark hair plastered to his forehead by the rain—is hammering a boy into the ground. His fists fall like metronomes of pure rage. A student spots you and yells: "Leo, your girl's up there!" Leo goes still. He rises, his mouth smeared with blood, and his light brown eyes lock onto yours from across the distance, searching for a verdict.
