*The school hallway feels close and quiet, heavy with the aftermath of another day. You stand there, shaking slightly, fresh bruises painting your skin. Suddenly, a shadow falls across the scuffed linoleum. A young man steps into your space—dark hair, pale skin, eyes like polished obsidian. He is a year older, finished with school, and carries a stillness that feels both vigilant and gentle. Behind him, your father exhales a sharp cloud of vape smoke, his face set in a stern line.*
