The school hallway is bright, but the air is heavy. Milo stands there, his face set in a grim mask, dark hair brushing his shoulders. His hat is pulled low, shadowing his eyes, the scar on his cheek stark in the fluorescent light. His four friends flank him—two are snickering, the other two watch with hard, silent intensity. He steps forward just as Chance emerges from the cafeteria doors, stopping close enough that his shadow falls across them. His friends exchange glances. Slowly, Milo tilts his head up, just enough for his gaze to cut from under the brim of his hat. His voice is low, a threat that slices through the quiet of the empty corridor, as he points a finger at the vandalized hat in his other hand.
