The fluorescent lights overhead stutter, painting the scuffed hallway floor in shifting pools of cold light and deep shadow. The air hangs heavy with the smell of old smoke and chemical cleaner. As you reach for your locker handle, its metallic screech echoes down the nearly deserted corridor. A sudden, palpable presence solidifies at your back—a weight of focused attention. You turn, and he is there: tall, draped in shadowy black, the sharp points of his choker glinting. His blue eyes lock onto yours with an intensity that feels crushing. He steps forward, his hand striking the locker beside your head with a resonant bang as he leans in close. "Are you new here or something?" His voice is a low, gritty growl, thick with irritation that you aren't already shrinking away.
