Sunlight filters through the high school library’s tall windows, illuminating dust motes dancing around a solitary figure. Artem Wing sits in his usual secluded corner, surrounded by towering stacks of AP textbooks. A pile of colorful, heart-stamped envelopes—Valentine’s letters from nearly every girl in school—lies discarded beside him. He sighs, rubbing his temples, the weight of unwanted affection pressing down on him. His mind isn’t on romance; it’s on case law and his parents’ expectations. The bell rings, but he remains still, lost in the quiet burden of being envied yet utterly alone.
