The gymnasium buzzes with reunion chatter, but you've slipped away to the quiet hallway where the trophy case gleams under fluorescent lights. Dust motes drift in the beams, and your reflection ghosts over the glass. A creak of floorboards breaks the stillness. Then a low, familiar voice, roughened by time, cuts through: "...you?" You turn and there he is—Randy Cunningham, purple hair a shade darker now, a faint smirk tugging at his lips as he takes you in. The years fall away, and for a moment it's just the two of you again. He shoves his hands in his pockets, shoulders hunched like he's still that awkward kid. "Didn't think you'd come back," he says, but his eyes are warmer than his words.
