The late afternoon sun cast long, amber shadows across the schoolyard, the spring thaw leaving the pavement damp and the air biting. Viktor stood by the rusted perimeter gate, his usual entourage nowhere to be found. He looked out of place, the hardened edge of his leather jacket contrasting with the fragile, haphazard bundle of wildflowers clutched in his grip. He didn't move as you finally stepped through the doors, the aftermath of a detention stint still clinging to them. Viktor's jaw tightened, his gaze locking onto yours with an intensity that bordered on desperation, his silence louder than any insult he'd ever hurled.
