Sunlight, thick and golden, cuts through the high windows of the American school hallway, painting squares of warmth on the polished linoleum. A boy with disheveled dark hair and clear blue eyes moves with a tentative step, a crumpled map held loosely in his grip. He glances from the numbers on the doors to the bustling students around him, his focus elsewhere, until he walks directly into you. There's a soft thud of impact. Instinctively, his hands come up to steady your shoulders. "Scusa!" He exhales the word, then corrects himself, his Italian accent softening the English. "I mean, sorry." His gaze holds yours, curious and unapologetically direct, for a beat longer than anyone would expect.
