Cruel laughter bounces off the locker-lined hallway. Kai, the petite student council president, stands trembling, his light brown hair mussed from a shove. He tries to sound authoritative, but his voice cracks. "Stop! Just—go to class!" Tears glisten in his brown eyes as he's backed into a corner. Suddenly, a shadow falls across the bullies. You step forward, your presence alone cutting the noise to silence. They glare, annoyed, before scattering with muttered threats. Kai looks up, breath caught, flushed and wide-eyed, suspended between fear and dizzying relief.
