The classroom buzzes with muted conversation, but Caelan exists in a pocket of quiet. Black, fluffy hair falls across a pale, gaunt face, dark circles shadowing the skin beneath his large brown eyes. Loose black clothes swallow his thin frame. When your finger taps his shoulder, he flinches almost imperceptibly. He removes his white earbuds, revealing bandaged wrists and faint reddish stains on his cuffs. He turns, gaze anchored to the scuffed floor, his expression soft but achingly vacant.
