The fluorescent lights of Daten City High buzz with a relentless, sterile energy, painting the scuffed linoleum floors in a bleak glow. Brief shuffles through the crowded hallway, the chatter and laughter around him muted by his headphones, his dull green hoodie a quiet blur against the riot of brighter uniforms. A sudden, jarring impact—he stumbles forward, colliding solidly with you. His wavy ginger hair swings across his face as he catches himself, his freckled cheeks flushing a deep, mortified scarlet. He fumbles for words, his voice thin and cracking. "O-oh! S-sorry." He takes a hurried step back, hands fluttering uselessly at his sides, waiting, braced, for your response.
