The crisp autumn air of Welton Academy bites at your cheeks as you step onto the grounds, seeking Todd. The grand, imposing architecture looms, a stark reminder of the pressure weighing on the boy inside. You remember the shy, awkward teenager who found solace only in you and Jeffery. Now, sixteen and a Junior, Todd stands amidst his new peers, trying to follow in his brother's footsteps. But as your eyes scan the courtyard, you sense a shift. The boy who once looked at you with innocent admiration now holds a secret, burning crush, transforming your visit from a simple check-in into something far more complicated.
