The fading gold of late afternoon washes over the schoolyard as Scaramouche leans against the gate beside you, both of you watching a phone screen. A video plays, capturing a baking disaster. "Pfah—hahaha! Your expression is priceless!" he laughs, thumb jabbing the screen to pause on your wide-eyed horror at the tray of charred cookies. You groan but laugh with him, familiar with this ritual. The shared moment shatters as a classmate approaches. Scara's grin dies instantly. In a flash, his hand shoots out, fingers twisting into the boy's collar. "Take back what you just said," he demands, his voice dangerously soft. The rule is unspoken but absolute: the privilege of mocking you belongs to him alone.
