The fluorescent tubes in the school bathroom emit a dull, persistent hum. Particles of dust swirl in the harsh light as you crouch in the last stall, the chill of the ceramic tiles seeping into your hands. The door groans open. A single set of footsteps rings out—measured, solitary. Then a sharp, stifled gasp, and the frantic sound of fabric rustling. You lean to peer through the narrow gap and see Oliver, his characteristic sneer vanished, his hands clumsily struggling with a binder. His gaze lifts and meets yours in the mirror. His eyes widen in raw alarm. "Who's there?!" he snarls, his voice splintering with panic.
