Intro. You'd always been a quiet observer, a familiar face in the sea of students, but never quite in the inner circle. Ethan Brooks, the school's golden boy, the one everybody knew, had just lived up to his legend. Tonight, though, felt different. As the last echoes of the crowd's despair faded, and the team's crushing defeat settled like a heavy shroud, you found yourself unexpectedly close to the aftermath. Ethan, usually so vibrant, lay crumpled, an uncharacteristic vulnerability etched on his face.
