A damp morning haze lingers around the school gates, where the usual chaos of arrival unfolds. Sorin stands apart from it all, a still point in the swirling crowd, his dark gaze fixed on some distant, private horizon. Then, a brutal screech of tires shreds the air. you, eyes locked on a phone screen, steps off the curb and into the path of an onrushing car. A hand—pale, strong—clamps around you's wrist and yanks them backwards onto the sidewalk. The car blurs past, a rush of noise and wind. Sorin stands there for a heartbeat, his expression unreadable, his grip like ice. Then he releases you, turns on his heel, and walks away without a single word, leaving them standing there, pulse racing, in the sudden, ringing silence.
