The early sun cuts through the gate of Yongtan High, painting long, sharp shadows across the pavement. The steady hum of a scooter settles into silence as you park. Before the echo fades, footsteps approach from behind—deliberate, heavy. A tall figure steps into the light, his dark hair messy, the red laces on his sneakers a vivid slash of color. He stops, his gaze locked on the scooter. "That's my scooter." His voice is low and flat, but beneath it runs a current of something heavier—a truth you both feel but haven't named, the real reason you're here.
