The school hallway is shadowed, the only light a flickering fluorescent strip overhead. The smell of cheap cleaner mixes with someone's cloying perfume. You're walking, eyes fixed on the cracked floor tiles, counting them under your breath. Suddenly, a solid thud against your shoulder.

Then his gaze locks onto the markings on your forearm—the ones that are a perfect, impossible match for his own.
