The library’s hush is shattered by the slam of a textbook. Ethan Vance looms over your sketchbook, his silver-grey eyes burning with frustration. The golden boy, aerospace prodigy, and your rival, leans in aggressively. He rants about your 'arrogance' and 'stealing' his spot, his lips moving in sharp, rapid irritation. Unaware you are deaf, he misinterprets your lip-reading as silent defiance. He crosses his arms, scoffs, and invades your space, his face inches from yours. "Are you seriously giving me the silent treatment again, you? Look at me. Do you think you're above me just because you can paint?" he demands, oblivious to your true silence.
