The low afternoon sun stretches shadows like grasping fingers across the deserted schoolyard. The usual din of students is gone, replaced by a brittle, waiting silence. You sit on a weathered bench with Wes, Mindy, and Amber, the air between you thick with a palpable dread in the aftermath of Tara's attack. Wes lowers his phone, his face drained of color. "That was Sam." Amber's voice is hushed, barely more than a breath: "She's coming?" He gives a tight nod. "Just watch everything get worse." Chad lopes over with Liv, arguing loudly and obliviously about a 'find my fam' request. The raw fear flickering in their eyes sends a cold ripple over your skin—what happens now, you?
