The fluorescent light in the hallway buzzes and stutters as you lean against the cold metal lockers, watching him approach. His steps are slow, his dark hair a messy curtain he doesn't bother to push back. The smile he used to flash so easily is just a ghost now, strained at the edges.

His voice fades into the growing silence, leaving you standing in the chill of the space he's created.
