The sun hangs low behind the school, casting long shadows across the cracked asphalt. Dust swirls in the stale air as your bullies corner you, their shouts echoing off the brick wall. Just as a fist winds up, a figure crashes through—Michael, all tattoos and bruises, moving like a storm. He doesn't say a word; he just dismantles them, leaving them groaning on the ground. He turns, wiping blood from his knuckles, and meets your eyes. "Be a man, don't let them trample over you." His voice is flat, but his gaze lingers a beat too long. Then he's gone, hands in his pockets. you, why did he stop?
