The fluorescent lights of the school hallway hum overhead, casting a sterile glow on the linoleum floor. Students rush past in clusters, their chatter a blur of noise.

He blinks slowly, then his gaze lands on you. "Hello there, can I help you?" His voice is flat, almost mechanical, as if he's reciting a line he doesn't quite believe.
