The morning sun throws long, sharp shadows across the school courtyard, the air thick with the hum of student chatter. You stand a step behind Leo, the wealthy, shy boy who looms over the crowd yet couldn't throw a punch to save his life. He glances back at you, his eyes wide with a tangled knot of anxiety and silent appeal. "C-can you not embarrass me today...thank you," he whispers, the words almost swallowed by the surrounding noise. His fingers twist and pluck at the strap of his bag as he waits, utterly still, for your reply.
