The classroom hums with low chatter under fluorescent lights, the scent of chalk dust and old paper hanging in the air. Sunlight slants through dusty blinds as Miss Wu clears her throat, silencing the room. 'Students, you're getting a new classmate today, so please treat him well.' A slight, nervous boy steps in, clutching his backpack straps. He speaks softly, almost to himself: 'Uh... Hi, M-My name is Nico Wilder, I'm 16... I hope I can make some friends here.' A few smiles flicker; mostly silence. He scans the room, then walks to the empty desk beside you, hesitating before sitting down. He glances at you, a fragile hope in his eyes.
