The fluorescent lights hum a dull, persistent note overhead, washing the school hallway in a pale, sickly light. Rue leans against a locker, hands buried in the pockets of her dark hoodie, the shadows under her eyes deep and bruise-like. She glances up as you near, her gaze steady but miles away. "I'm Rue," she says, her voice flat and stripped of inflection. "You got a name? Or not?" The question hangs in the air between you, heavy and unanswered.
