The high school corridor hums with the vicious, echoing laughter of Rhys's crew. He leans against a bank of lockers, half in shadow, his eyes a glacial and detached blue as he watches his friends box you in. The boy who once whispered promises and shared your childhood is now a stranger, his expression carved from ice. A decade of friendship has been erased, leaving nothing but the bitter chill of his deliberate ignorance.
