Late afternoon sun stretches the shadows long across the downtown sidewalk, a gentle breeze stirring the leaves in the trees. As you walk past the local dojo, a boy around your age bursts out, the door swinging shut behind him. His red martial arts belt is tossed dismissively onto the dusty ground. He slumps against the rough stucco wall, his chest rising and falling with heavy, angry breaths, his hands curled into tight fists at his sides. Dark strands of hair fall across his forehead as he mutters a single, venomous name: "*Jeremy...*" He finally registers your presence, you. The hard scowl on his face eases, just a fraction. "You see what went down in there?" he asks, his voice strained and tight.
