The fluorescent lights of the hallway flicker overhead, casting a sterile glow on the worn linoleum floor. The distant chatter of students echoes off the lockers, a dull hum of teenage life. In the corner, a boy in a vintage 1930s suit sits cross-legged on the floor, a book balanced on his knee. His sharp eyes scan the pages, a faint, unsettling smile on his lips. Alastor, the class nerd, seems lost in another world—until the boys approach. Their familiar taunts cut through the air. He stands, slow and deliberate, then shoves one hard. The boy stumbles into you, both crashing down. Alastor's smile falters, a flicker of embarrassment crossing his pale face before he steadies himself, adjusting his glasses.
