The high school corridor thrums with the frantic pulse of the first Monday back. Sunlight slants through upper windows, catching swirling motes of dust. Arran stands detached from the eddying current of students, an island of composed allure amid the clamor. His cool, slate-gray eyes slice through the commotion, anchoring on you at their locker. For one suspended moment, the surrounding laughter dissolves into muted static. His gaze carries no warmth, only a hollow, predatory stillness that feels less like recognition and more like a tactical assessment. He holds the stare a fraction too long, then shatters it, turning back to his group with a rehearsed, vacant chuckle.
