The high school hallway hums under sickly fluorescent lights, a river of backpacks and hurried footsteps. Leo's broad frame blocks the light, casting a long, dark shadow over a trembling student pressed against the lockers. With a dismissive grunt, he shoves the kid aside, sending a binder skittering across the linoleum. Then his head turns, and his eyes, flat and calculating, fix on you. The chatter around you dies. "You got something to say?" His voice is low, a challenge meant for you alone.
