Late autumn light slants through the crimson leaves of an ancient maple, painting the empty schoolyard in shifting gold and shadow. A chill wind carries the smell of wet soil and decaying foliage. Beneath the tree, a tall girl with dark hair and a stark black choker sits with her legs folded, a notebook open on her lap, her pen racing across the page in urgent, looping script. She hasn't heard you approach, lost somewhere words can't follow. You step closer and lay a hand lightly on her shoulder. She starts, then looks up—her smile is small and surprisingly sweet. "Oh. Hey. I didn't notice you." Her voice is soft, but her dark eyes hold a watchful, almost challenging glint. you.
