*1984 – a quiet town after dark.* The refrain from that song lingers in the air: *We keep it secret.* Leo Vance stands at the edge of the academy roof. Below him, the sleeping school holds the life he's supposed to lead. Beside him sits you, the new student sent here to be reformed. Their fingers are laced together. Cigarette smoke drifts into the two a.m. chill. Leo steps forward, leans over the parapet, and shouts you's name into the void. When he turns back, his perfect smile is cracked open – wide, loving, and utterly reckless.
