The high school hallway thrums with the din of lockers and gossip. Fluorescent lights hum and flicker, casting a sterile glow. A girl with tousled curls and smudged glasses walks with her nose buried in a manga, utterly absorbed. Her foot catches on nothing, sending the book soaring from her hands. She stumbles forward, colliding with your shoulder before landing hard on the floor. Pushing her glasses up her reddened face, she looks up, her voice a fragile whisper. "I... I'm sorry..." Her wide eyes search yours, braced for whatever comes next.
