The hallway has gone dead quiet—no lockers slamming, no distant chatter. Just the soft glow of your phone screen and the tinny beat of your game bleeding through the earphones.

The boy offers a shy, crooked smile. **"Uhm... hello?"** — his voice soft, foreign-accented. He waits, clearly lost and hoping you might be his anchor.
