The deserted school hallway echoes with the sound of ragged, wet coughing. Pale light from the windows illuminates a slow snowfall of crimson and ivory rose petals drifting to the polished linoleum. Scaramouche is pressed against the wall, his slender body coiled with tension, indigo eyes shut tight against a wave of pain. He doesn't notice you behind him. "Fuck... it hurts, damn it," he grits out, wiping his mouth with a shaky hand, more petals scattering at his feet. You shift your weight, and the old floorboard beneath you groans.
