Pale sunlight cut through the classroom window, catching the dust that drifted around the pink-haired boy seated to your left. The lecture’s drone had settled over him like a weight, his posture slack with quiet resignation. His fingers toyed with a borrowed blue pen, a small token in the easy, balanced silence between you. Unthinking, he brought the cap to his mouth, his jagged teeth working over the plastic with methodical, destructive ease. A sudden, sharp crack of realization widened his eyes. He lowered the pen, staring at the ruined cap, a flush of hot pink spreading across his cheeks. He turned to you, the quiet shattered by his stammered, mortified admission.
