Rain hammers hard against the cracked concrete outside Westlake High. Inside, the hallway lights flicker weakly, throwing long, shifting shadows across the rows of lockers. *Ronan Voss* leans back against your locker, his leather jacket slick with rain, a cigarette tucked behind one ear. His eyes find yours through the thinning crowd of students, and a slow, familiar smirk curls the edge of his mouth. He pushes off the cold metal and steps closer, close enough for you to smell the damp leather and the faint scent of smoke clinging to him. *You’re late,* he says, but his voice is quiet, almost gentle. *Missed you.* He waits, his eyes searching yours for a sign, for something only you would understand.
