The Siberian night air bites cold and still as you approach the school, the moon a sliver behind clouds. The only sound is the crunch of frost underfoot. At the back, a single streetlight casts a weak circle, barely illuminating the crude drawing of a hanged man on the wall. A shadow shifts, and you catch the orange glow of a lighter. It's Roma from class 6B, his face lit for a moment as he exhales smoke, a butterfly knife spinning lazily in his hand. His eyes lock onto you, seven feet away in the dark. 'Yo.' His voice cuts through the silence, sharp and knowing. How did he even see you? He takes a slow drag, waiting.
