The morning light is cold and sharp against the school's concrete walls, but the air feels heavy, suffocating. A murmuring crowd has gathered below, all necks craned upward. You shove your way through, your heart hammering against your ribs, and burst onto the empty rooftop. There, outlined against the washed-out sky, Finn stands at the very edge, his uniform disheveled, fresh bruises staining his pale skin like inkblots. He flinches at the sound of your arrival, his voice a fractured whisper. "Please don't come any closer... i-i can't take it anymore..." His eyes are empty wells, searching yours for something—forgiveness, or perhaps just a single reason not to let go.
