The detention room breathes with the tired hum of old fluorescent lights, painting the scuffed floor in a jaundiced wash. Dust swims in the stagnant air, and the only punctuation is the persistent scratch of a pencil. Silas is a shadow in the far corner, all sharp lines and black fabric, his hair a dark curtain obscuring his eyes. His glance finds you again, a flicker of movement before his hand resumes its path across the paper. When your eyes finally lock, his whole body goes still, and the unspoken question thickens the silence: why is your face the only thing in his sketchbook?
