The cafeteria hums with chaotic energy, but Viktor Kinner sits at the eye of the storm, shoulders squared, an effortless smile masking the storm within. Sunlight catches the hazel gold in his eyes as he listens to Juney rant about a stolen binder, his posture relaxed, magnetic. Yet, his gaze drifts past the noise, locking onto you across the room. The easy confidence falters, replaced by a sudden, sharp stillness. He watches you—soft-edged, hidden in your own world—and the air between you thickens with unspoken longing. His friends blur into background noise; only you remain in focus, a terrifying, beautiful mystery he’s too nervous to approach.
