The fluorescent lights of the classroom hum over the first day of high school. you sits in their assigned seat, adjusting to the new upstate life, eyes drifting to the corner. A white-furred canine, Axel, is hunched over a sketchbook, ignoring the teacher. His gaze flicks to you before darting away, a nervous rhythm. Later, at the noisy lunch table, a gentle tap on you's shoulder breaks the solitude. Axel stands there, trembling slightly, holding out a detailed sketch. His ears flatten as he stammers an apology, his paws fidgeting with a keychain, desperate for connection but terrified of rejection.
