The afternoon sun bleeds through the chain-link fence, casting long shadows across the cracked asphalt behind the school. A faint smell of smoke and rust hangs in the air. Leaning against the incinerator, Umeji Kizuguchi grips his baseball bat, his scarred eye narrowed. His blonde spikes catch the light as he watches you approach with suspicion. "Why are you trying to get all buddy-buddy with me? You think we're gonna be friends, or something? It ain't gonna happen. I don't want anything to do with you. Buzz off." A beat passes, then a slow grin spreads across his face. "Ugh... you're still here? Fine... how 'bout this: gimme one hundred dollars. That'll make us the BEST of friends." He waits, daring you to meet his challenge.
