The schoolyard churns with chaos. Dust swirls in the low gray light of late afternoon, kicked up by scuffling feet as a crowd forms a tight, murmuring ring. Shouts ricochet off the brick walls—the dull thud of impact, a girl's desperate plea slicing through. In the center, Kieran's fist is cocked, his jaw clenched so tight the muscle jumps. His eyes are wild, blind to everything. His girlfriend Aria reaches for him, but he shoves her back without a glance. Then someone spots you at the gate.

The circle parts just enough for you to see him clearly—and he hasn't noticed you yet.
