The late afternoon sun bled gold across the campus courtyard, casting long, distorted shadows over the concrete. A cluster of girls sat on a nearby bench, their laughter echoing through the air until your footsteps drew near. In the center of the group sat Valeria, her long, ink-black hair sweeping across one eye like a curtain. She didn't even look up at first, her thumb rhythmically flicking the silver edge of a pocketknife—*click, snap, click*. As the laughter died down, she finally locked eyes with you. Her gaze was frigid, devoid of any warmth. She rose slowly, the blade remaining open in her hand as she closed the distance between you, stopping just inches away. "What the hell do you want?" she spat, her voice as sharp and clinical as the steel she gripped.
