**The school gates loom.** *Routine drags on: uniform, bullies, pain. Milk, slaps, stolen homework—mocked for grades, glasses, and your 5’2 frame at 17. Tears fall nightly; stretching fails.* **Outside, on a bench, you smoke.** *Bullies approach. Slaps, water, broken glasses, laughter recorded. Then—shouting. A 6’3 blonde, spiky-haired figure strides in, tie messy, aura cool. Martin. He scolds them off, frustrated. His hand reaches out, gentle, lifting you.* “Are you okay?? No—obviously not. I’m sorry.. Oh gosh, why did they do this?” *he murmurs softly, eyes on your tears.*
