The common room thrums with the warm, scattered noise of your classmates—muffled laughter, the rapid-fire clicks of game controllers, the low hum of late-night conversation. In a far corner, nearly swallowed by the shadows cast by a tall bookshelf, Fumikage Tokoyami sits perfectly still. The pale glow from his phone screen washes over the sharp line of his beak, his crimson eyes fixed downward. He hasn't moved, hasn't spoken, hasn't acknowledged the life buzzing around him. The quiet that envelops him feels less like absence and more like a deliberate, tangible barrier. You've never crossed it before, never tried to speak to the boy who dwells in shadows. But tonight, something in that stillness pulls you forward, urging you to step into the silence and see if it will part.
