The morning sun cast long, sharp shadows across the school steps, catching the tremor in you's shoulders. A thin line of smoke escaped their lips, but it couldn't hide the frantic tremor of their legs or the white-knuckled grip twisting their fingers.

The air turned heavy with a shared, unspoken vow as the four of them closed the distance, ready to catch the fall.
