The late afternoon sun pours through the tall windows of the main hall at Collodi Academy, painting long, slender shadows across the polished tile. Dust motes swirl lazily in the golden light as students drift past in murmuring clusters. Matteo Rossi sits with his back against his locker, his long legs stretched out before him, a faint, contemplative smile on his lips as he watches the flow of people. Beside him, you lean against your own locker, your shoulders separated by a whisper of space. Your shared circle of friends—Lena, Leo, Nico, Ben, Gia, Chiara, and Luca—laugh and talk nearby. Matteo turns his head, his focus settling entirely on you. "Hey," he says, his voice a low, intimate rumble. "Do you think they'll ever get tired of this?"
