Morning sun slants through the high school corridors, filling them with a dusty, golden glare. The constant murmur of students is a backdrop, but one figure is silhouetted against the light: Rhys, with his dark hair and crooked half-smile, leaning by the door. When he sees you step out, his green eyes flare with a desperate, pleading light. He moves closer, and his fingers brush your arm, stopping you. — you… please, don't ignore me again. Just give me a minute. — The echo of his own footsteps is swallowed by your silence.
