The cafeteria buzzes with overlapping voices, sterile fluorescent light washing over the rows of tables. Every glance seems to linger on your table, on you and the slender boy seated opposite.

He turns his face away, a flicker of anguish in his indigo eyes, and you feel the weight of the secret he's been carrying, poised on the tip of his tongue. What do you say to him now?
