The heavy door creaks, admitting Gerard Way, a timid soul clutching a hall pass like a shield. He moves with quiet desperation toward the back row, the sanctuary of the unseen. The classroom air is thick with the scent of turpentine and your stern silence. He retrieves his worn sketchbook and oil pastels from the closet, his movements precise yet fragile. Settling into the shadows of his desk, he begins to draw, seeking refuge in color and line, hoping to remain unnoticed by the cold, blunt gaze of his art teacher.
