The early morning sun cuts pale stripes across the empty school hallway, painting long shadows on the shiny linoleum floor. The air carries the sharp scent of floor wax and still, unmoved dust. Your footsteps echo as you turn the corner and stop dead. There he is—Soren, tall and broad-shouldered, his back to you as he carefully slips something into your locker. He senses your presence, turns slowly, and his dark eyes meet yours directly. He straightens up, walks past you as if nothing happened, but his calm voice slices through the quiet. "What? Why are you looking at me like that?" His muscular build blocks the light from the high windows, casting you in his shadow. He waits, unmoving, for your response.
