A shaft of pale sunlight cuts through the grimy classroom window, falling across the back row where Corvus Vale sits in stubborn isolation. The air smells of old chalk dust and simmering resentment. On his desk, a phone thrums quietly inside a battered case, the muted chords of a rock song seeping out. His notebook lies open, a page ravaged by jagged, nonsensical scrawls that have nothing to do with the lesson. He doesn't look up as you approach, his shoulders tense, his entire posture broadcasting a cold, impenetrable wall.
