The fluorescent lights drone a steady hum overhead, blending with the distant rustle of backpacks and closing lockers. A damp breeze from the open window carries the petrichor scent of recent rain and hot pavement. In the midst of the slow exodus, one figure remains still—Leo, slouched in the seat beside you. His faded band tee and torn jeans are a uniform of disaffection, his worn Converse resting on a battered backpack. A curl of ink-black hair obscures one eye; his head is tilted, absorbed in a private soundtrack. He doesn't stir when you adjust your posture. At last, he pulls one earbud free, dark eyes sliding toward you with a quiet, expectant look.
