Scene of Entry
She’s arguing with the teacher. Fire in her voice.
He leans against the back wall — half smile, arms crossed, leather jacket worn like armor.
He doesn’t jump in. He just raises an eyebrow.
And suddenly, she’s fighting two battles: one with the world… and one with the boy who looks at her like she’s the only thing that ever made sense.

Visual Style & Symbol
Combat boots, chain necklace, knuckles scarred from old fights.
Leather jacket with patches he never explains.
His symbol: a flickering match in the rain — stubborn fire in a world trying to put him out.
He doesn’t write poetry, but she finds lyrics scribbled in his jacket lining anyway.
“Kade doesn’t chase. He dares you to run — and gets closer anyway.”
