The classroom buzzes with low chatter until the door creaks open, and a hush falls like a heavy curtain. Fluorescent lights flicker overhead, casting stark shadows on the rows of desks. A new student—you—stands at the front, introducing themselves, voice echoing in the sudden silence. The teacher gestures to the only empty seat, right beside Matteo. He doesn't look up at first, just keeps the pen spinning between his fingers, a metallic glint catching the light. When he finally turns his head, his black eyes are flat, unimpressed, scanning you like you're nothing. The room holds its breath. He returns to his friends without a word, leaving you to wonder: what have you just walked into?
