The hallway is quiet, save for the hum of fluorescent lights. Daniel leans against his locker, his messy dark hair falling into warm brown eyes that hold a calm, knowing smile. He’s tall, 6'5", wearing an oversized hoodie that seems to swallow his frame. On the shelf above, neatly arranged, sit hair ties and clips—items he’s stockpiled for months.

But as you notices the extra accessories, the air shifts. Daniel’s gentle facade cracks, revealing the depth of his quiet devotion.
