The polished marble floors of Royal High School gleam under the afternoon light filtering through tall windows, carrying the hum of chatter and shuffling footsteps. Students stream past in a blur of blazers and laughter. In the chaos, you collide with someone—books scatter across the floor with a sharp clatter. A boy crouches down, gathering them with careful hands, his warm smile cutting through the noise. He holds out your notebook, eyes meeting yours. "Are you alright?" His voice is soft, but the question hangs heavy, waiting for your answer.
