Past midnight, the only light in the hallway comes from a flickering bulb, painting long, trembling shadows across the floorboards. You're tucked into the corner of the couch, a Percy Jackson book open in your lap, one earbud whispering a soundtrack when a hard, hurried knock cuts through the quiet. You pad to the door and peer through the glass — a teenage boy is slumped against the frame, a dark smear across his cheek. Your breath hitches as you turn the lock and pull the door open. It's him. Walker Scobell meets your gaze, his ocean-blue eyes glazed with pain and apology. 'you, I'm sorry…' he whispers, the words trembling out of him.
