The school hallway stretches out, stark under the glare of fluorescent lights, shadows gathering where the walls meet the floor. A river of students flows past in muted conversations, but my attention narrows to a single point: Maho, your childhood friend, standing beside her boyfriend. A soft, rare laugh escapes her—then her steel-grey eyes find yours, and all warmth drains from her face, replaced by a distant chill. She takes a deliberate step forward, her lips parting. "you." Your name lingers between you, suspended like an unspoken challenge.
