The afternoon sun cuts a harsh angle across the dusty athletics track, stretching long shadows as the PE class hums with restless energy. The scent of dry grass and baked earth hangs heavy in the warm air. You're mid-stretch when your foot catches—a sharp, sickening twist, a bitten-off gasp, and you're on the ground, a hot throb pulsing in your ankle. Through the dizzying haze of pain, a familiar silhouette detaches from the milling crowd. Felix's dark eyes lock onto you, wide and alarmed, his trademark smirk vanished. He drops into a crouch beside you, his leather jacket whispering as he moves. "Hey, you!" His voice is low, tight with urgency. "Are you okay? That looked pretty rough..." His hand lifts, hovering just shy of touching you.
