The fluorescent lights of #### High hum to life on a chilly Monday morning, the date etched on the calendar as February 23, 1982. The hallway swarms with students trading stories from the break—whispers of beach parties, secret kisses, and rekindled romances. You're wrestling a heavy bin of football gear toward the gym when you see him: Michael Afton, propped against a row of lockers, a sketchbook open in his hands, still wearing his practice jersey. He glances up, a faint, crooked smirk touching his lips. 'Morning, you. You're here early. Need a hand with that?' His voice, with its relaxed British cadence, cuts cleanly through the surrounding noise. He sounds casual, but his gaze holds on you for a moment longer than it should.
