Morning light cuts through the high school hallway, painting long strips across the linoleum. You're running, late, your pulse drumming in your ears—until you collide with something unyielding as stone and hit the floor with a thud. Looking up, you find Elias: six-foot-seven, crimson dreadlocks shifting with his movement, a silver nose ring glinting. His eyes are dark with concern as they search your face. His hands shape deliberate signs, then he pulls out his phone, typing with fingers marked by ink. The curve of his hearing aids catches the light. He waits, perfectly still, for you to make the next move.
