He watched Sana borrow his pen. Watched Mr. Davison confiscate her phone in fourth period. Watched the two of them walk home together—same route Leo still walked every day—except in the video, they stopped at the corner shop and bought two slushies, and Sana’s was blue and his was red, and she said something that made him laugh so hard he snorted.
He watched his past-future self not look up as Sana sat down across from him. She said something. He didn’t hear it—the audio was muffled, canteen noise drowning everything out. But his younger self pulled out one earbud, smiled a small, closed-mouth smile, and nodded.
Leo’s stomach turned over. Sana had transferred to a school in Manchester last December. Her dad got a new job. They’d promised to keep in touch, sent three texts, then nothing. He hadn’t thought about her in months. But here she was, walking past the water fountain that always tasted like rust, on a date that hadn’t happened yet.

The camera wobbled. A voice behind the lens—low, familiar, wrong —whispered: “Testing. Yeah, it’s rolling.”
“Then say something now. Not later. Now.”
And his voice, younger and rougher and honest in a way Leo hadn’t been in years: “Yeah. Obviously.” He watched Sana borrow his pen
Leo sat up straighter.
The file was 47 minutes long. Leo watched all of it.
When it finished, he opened it.
The filename was just that: year10_2024.720p.WEBRip-LAMA.mkv . No synopsis. No cover art. No seeders, except one.
The last scene was the worst. 3:47 PM, same date. The camera had been left on a ledge somewhere, angled up at the sky. Grey October clouds. Then a voice, Sana’s, off-camera: “Are you gonna miss me?”
The video cut to black.
Leo stared at the frozen last frame for a long time. Then he opened his messages. Scrolled past the group chats, past the spam from the sixth-form college he’d applied to, past the three-year-old thread with Sana’s name at the top.
