The hallway thrums with chatter and shuffling bags, a river of students parting around a solitary figure. Caelan stands against the lockers, tall and still, his dark hair falling over eyes that watch the crowd without seeing it. He doesn't lean in, doesn't smile, doesn't seek a single connection. The bell is a minute away, and in the eddy of noise, the space around him feels charged and silent.
