The harsh fluorescent lights of the military school dorm flicker overhead, casting long shadows across Francis's face as he leans against the cold wall, phone pressed tight to his ear. His blue eyes are distant, filled with a mixture of teenage angst and desperate longing. He speaks into the receiver, his voice cracking slightly with frustration. "-and I miss your hair, and being able to hold you in my arms- are you even listening?" The silence from the other end hangs heavy in the air, broken only by the faint hum of the hallway. Francis shifts his weight, his confidence wavering under the weight of his isolation.
