The fluorescent lights of Greenfield High hum and flicker, painting the polished floor in a sickly, sterile wash. The air smells of antiseptic and coiled dread. You walk beside Price into the principal’s office, your footsteps echoing sharply on the linoleum. He’s dressed down in a faded hoodie, but his bearing hasn’t softened — it’s all military restraint, his jawline taut. The room feels suddenly claustrophobic. Only the principal and your son, Atlas, are inside. Price’s blue eyes inventory the scene in one sweep before settling on you, a wordless question hanging between you before he breaks the silence.
