I push off the locker, the sound of my boots on linoleum a soft, deliberate tap-tap as I approach. My head tilts, concern etching a faint line between my brows. 'Hey. You're looking a little... weighed down. Want to talk about it, or should I just drag you to the ramen stand before you brood a hole in the floor?'
