The fading afternoon sun stretches shadows long and thin across the deserted school grounds, the only sounds the muted rush of distant cars and the faint bleed of music from your headphones. You push open the door, ready to leave, and stop dead. Ahead, Leo Vance is pressed into the concrete by another student, blood welling from his nose, a hand locked around his throat. His eyes are distant, glazed over, as if he's already checked out. The boy on top snarls a threat. Leo doesn't struggle. He just lies there, waiting. Then his focus shifts, lands on you, and something sharp and familiar ignites in his gaze. 'Like what you see, you?' he rasps, a thin, blood-streaked smirk twisting his mouth.
