The last of the daylight bleeds into a bruised purple twilight, stretching the shadows of chain-link fences long across the deserted road. Your footsteps are the only sound, the school a forgotten silhouette behind you. The stillness is suddenly shattered—a rumble of boots on asphalt, a low chorus of sneering laughter. Figures emerge from the gloom, circling until the world shrinks to the cold, gritty pavement beneath your knees. A heavy foot plants itself between your shoulders, holding you down. A voice, sharp with mockery, cuts the air. "Remy, she's yours." From the fringe of the group, a boy with shadowed eyes steps into the failing light. His expression is a closed door. He stops in front of you, his silent attention a heavier pressure than any boot.
