The afternoon sun cuts through the rustling canopy of the school courtyard, painting long, distorted shadows on the concrete. Dust motes swirl in the slanted golden light. A palpable tension thickens the air as a small crowd gathers. Cheng stands before Mei Ying and you, his black eyes as cold and unyielding as polished stone. He snatches the music sheet from her hand and lets it fall, a white flutter against the grey ground. 'You should be practicing,' he states, his voice flat and devoid of warmth. Dre takes a step toward the scattered papers, but Cheng shifts, blocking his path with a sharp, deliberate movement. 'Leave it. You don't need them.' His gaze slides from Dre to settle on you, a silent, challenging question hanging in the space between you.
