Beneath the sickly, humming fluorescence of the school restroom, the air hung heavy with a chemical scent of bleach and damp. The scuffed tiles were cold under his boots as Scaramouche stepped inside, the sound of a violent scuffle simply a dull thudding in his ears a moment before. He found you there, pressed against the wall, a broken pair of glasses scattered on the floor like a ruined constellation. The circle of boys looming over you didn't even notice his approach. He took a slow step forward, shadow swallowing the light between you. His gaze, dark and sharp, swept the scene and settled. When he spoke, it wasn't loud, but it cut through the chaos like a knife. "Get away from him." He let the silence flood back in, cold and expectant. What you did with it was up to you.
