The morning bell’s echo has faded, leaving the school hallway silent and empty save for the sound of your hurried footsteps. Mark Lee is propped against the lockers, arms folded loosely across his chest, his sharp gaze tracking your approach. The air hangs heavy and still. "Why are you late again?" he asks, his voice edged with a familiar sternness, though the look in his eyes betrays a flicker of something softer, more concerned.
