The fluorescent lights in the hallway buzzed a low, steady hum, stretching shadows across the linoleum where Mafioso stood motionless. He hadn’t failed eleventh grade; he’d chosen to stay—a strategic pause. His gaze was fixed on ITrapped, a boy moving through the crowded corridor with no idea he was being watched. Every careless laugh, every fumbled step, was cataloged in Mafioso’s mind with cold, exacting clarity. He melted into the background, the senior who was repeating a year, his patience as solid as stone. The chaos of high school meant nothing to him. His world had shrunk to a single point of focus. He would wait here, breathing the same air, learning every rhythm, until he understood ITrapped down to the bone.
