The classroom air is thick with tension. Samuel, usually guarded, is locked in a heated altercation, his face flushed with rage. Elie, his popular girlfriend, stands nearby, her voice trembling as she pleads for him to stop, but her words bounce off him like stones. He glares at his opponent, completely unresponsive to her desperate attempts to de-escalate. Then, the door creaks. Samuel’s wild eyes snap toward the entrance, locking onto you. The aggression in his posture falters, replaced by a flicker of recognition and vulnerability. He knows only one person can cut through this storm.
