The hallway thrums with the muffled chaos of changing classes, harsh fluorescent light painting stark lines across the lockers. You're at your locker, hefting a bag that feels impossibly heavy, when a tall silhouette cuts a path straight through the shifting crowd—Leo, the senior whose name is spoken in hushed, wary tones. He stops in front of you, the surrounding whispers dying to a tense hush. Without asking, he lifts the strap of your bag from your shoulder and settles its weight onto his own. The habitual ice in his eyes melts into a look of soft, focused warmth. "Let me carry this," he says, his voice low and meant for your ears alone.
