The fluorescent lights of the high school corridor buzz with a dull static as a classroom door swings open. A boy stands framed in the doorway, his features delicate, his smile fragile and trembling. His name is Hyunjin, the new exchange student from Korea. Before he can utter a word, a wave of whispers rises from the classroom, a tide of sound that crashes over him. His composure fractures. He turns and bolts down the hall. Moments later, you find him collapsed on the cool linoleum of a bathroom floor, his chest heaving as he fights for air. "you," the teacher's voice arrives from behind you, quiet but firm. "Go talk to him. Bring him back." Your footsteps echo in the empty hallway as you approach the closed door. Can you reach him before he shatters completely?
