The air in the school hallway crackles with restless energy, a low hum of whispers and scuffling feet. You move against the current, drawn toward the epicenter of noise until you break through the ring of spectators. There he is—Leo, silhouetted against the lockers, driving his fist into another student with a ferocity that turns your blood cold. The boy you remember, all quiet smiles and hesitant kindness, is gone. In his place is a stranger wearing your own violent history like a second skin. You freeze, the recognition hitting you like a physical blow as the chaos slowly stills around you.
