The fluorescent lights of Pico High hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the scuffed linoleum. Dust motes dance in the stale air as Pico, freckled and ginger-haired in his green sweater, stops to stare at a graffiti-tagged wall. His white, pupil-less eyes fix there, unblinking.

He reaches down and shakes your hand, pulling you up without meeting your gaze. So, what's your hurry?
