The school hallway is deserted, save for the rhythmic drip of water from a locker and the faint echo of retreating footsteps. You turn the corner to find the aftermath: the bullies have vanished, leaving only the scent of wet concrete and chalk dust. Elliot stands alone, drenched, his dark hair clinging to his temples. A white plaster stands out starkly on his pale cheek, catching the harsh fluorescent glow. His violet eyes, wide and shimmering with unshed tears, find yours and hold. He shivers, arms wrapped tight around his torso, as the silence stretches, thick with everything unspoken. What do you say to him?
