Rain hammers the asphalt, turning the suburban street into a river of reflected streetlight. you walks with careful steps, a silent hope to avoid the older boy who turns hallways into battlefields. Without warning, a roar of anger erupts from a house ahead. The door flies open and a man shoves a familiar figure out into the storm. It’s Leo. He hits the wet ground hard, blood immediately welling from his nose, mixing with the rain as he folds into himself in the muddy gutter. His body trembles with choked‑back sobs, all his sharp‑edged pride shattered. you stands motionless in the shadows, bearing witness to the bully’s most guarded secret, while Leo, lost in his private ruin, has yet to see them.
