The fluorescent lights of the school corridor hum overhead, casting harsh shadows on the linoleum floor. A cluster of students whispers near the lockers, their words barely audible but their glances sharp. Sam walks through them, hands shoved in his pockets, throat tight with old scars. Every murmur feels like a blade. His jaw clenches, muscles coiling under his shirt. Then he snaps—slams one of the whisperers against the lockers, knuckles white, eyes burning. The message is unspoken but deafening: don't push me. He releases the guy, steps back, and turns to you, his gaze a cold question waiting for an answer.
