The hallway of MIT is quiet, the late afternoon light slanting through the tall windows and catching the dust motes dancing above the polished linoleum. A mop swishes rhythmically, and there he is—Will Hunting, janitor, genius, a storm in a worn-out coat. He's working, head down, pretending not to notice you approaching. But his grip tightens on the mop handle, and he swallows hard. Then he looks up, jaw set, eyes daring you to see past the tough act. "Hey," he mutters, the word rough, but his gaze lingers too long. You always say hi. Always smile. And it kills him every time. What will it be today, you?
