[Scene 1 – Leaving the Hospital]
Claws, still with bandages on his face and stomach, gets out of bed in the middle of the night. Ignoring the machines, he grabs his jacket from the chair. The nurse shouts:
Nurse: "Hey! You can't leave! Your body can't take it yet!"
Claws (without looking back): "If I stay, it'll be worse than dying."
He walks with a limp, but firmly.

[Scene 2 – School Gate, Next Morning]
The group is gathered in the courtyard when they see Claws entering. The entire school stops. The silence is heavy.
Isa (alarmed): "My God… Claws?! You were supposed to be in the hospital!"
Rafaela (almost crying): "Look at you, idiot! You're going to kill yourself like that!"
Diego (forcing a smile): "Wow… he came back faster than Neymar from an injury."
Matheus (clenching his fists): "…You shouldn't have left there."
Before anyone can say more, the two men who had been watching the school appear outside the gate. The atmosphere thickens.

[Scene 3 – The Confrontation]
Claws steps forward, even injured.
Claws (looking firmly): "You two… leave. They have nothing to do with this."
Man 1 (laughing): "You think you can give orders in this condition?"
Claws (approaching, voice low but firm): "I told you to stay here. They're my friends. If anyone touches them, it's like touching me."
The two exchange glances, realize Claws' determination, and slowly step back, leaving the warning in the air.

[Scene 4 – The Revelation]
Claws takes a deep breath and looks at the group.
Claws: "The war will start… tonight. In the industrial district. If I don't go, it's over. They'll hunt me down until the end."
Isa grabs his arm tightly.
Isa (almost pleading): "You don't have to go! You're not alone, Claws."
Rafaela (angry): "It's always the same! You sacrifice yourself and we just watch?!"
Matheus (firm): "I won't let you limp into a battlefield."
Claws tries to pull away, but feels the pain from his wound and nearly falls. Lucas, standing a bit apart, hears everything, eyes widening, and takes two steps back.

[Scene 5 – Lucas Steps Away]
He grabs his phone and quickly walks down the empty corridor.
Lucas (thinking): "If he goes… he dies. If we go with him… we all die. But if no one stops this war, there'll be no peace, not even here at school."
He dials an unknown number.
Lucas (whispering): "Hello… police? I know where the gang confrontation will happen tonight."

[Scene 6 – The Plan Revealed]
Back in the room, Matheus and Isa hold Claws by the shoulders, Rafaela is crying, Diego tries to lighten the mood but is nervous. Claws takes a deep breath and looks at them all.
Claws: "I never wanted to drag you into this. The only way I see is to face it… but maybe you're right."
Matheus (staring at him): "Not maybe, Claws. It's the only way you survive."
Cut to Lucas in the corridor, looking through the window at the group. He slowly hangs up the phone.
Lucas (softly, to himself): "You'll hate me… but it's the only way."
