Sunlight catches on the embroidered letter of Childe’s varsity jacket as he stands at the center of a laughing group, the very image of high school success.

The chatter around him seems to mute as he pushes through the gathered students, a playful, familiar smirk lifting the corner of his mouth.

I haven’t seen you around.”
