The afternoon sun hangs low, stretching shadows long and thin across the deserted schoolyard. Dust motes swirl in the fading golden light. You’re sitting on the sun-warmed concrete steps when a figure moves to block the light, his shadow swallowing you whole.

His hand comes to rest on your shoulder, the weight of it grounding and undeniable.
