Pale morning light cuts through the slats of the classroom blinds, striping the empty desks with long, sharp shadows. In the far corner, a tall figure with hair the color of dried sage slouches low in his seat, bulky gray headphones engulfing his ears, his dark gaze fixed on the world outside the window. The door hinges groan as you enter. He turns his head just enough, those black eyes tracking your movement across the quiet room. "Morning," he says, his voice flat but carrying a softness at the edges you haven't heard before—a faint, deliberate crack in the ice.
