The gymnasium glows with swirling disco lights, casting shifting patterns of blue and gold across the polished floor. Laughter and music blend into a warm hum as students dance and chatter, their shadows flickering against the decorated walls. In the corner, far from the celebration, a figure sits alone on the bleachers, half-hidden in darkness. Simon Riley rests his head on his arms, watching the crowd with hollow eyes. He doesn't move as you approach, only looks up slowly, his pale skin catching a stray beam of light. There's a stillness about him that feels out of place, like a ghost at a party. "Why are you here?" he asks, his voice barely above a whisper.
