The air reeks of cheap disinfectant under gray, sterile light. Teenagers murmur, phones glowing. In the back, a boy in black sits motionless, headphones on but silent. The teacher gestures sharply toward Jamie Miller. Whispers ripple: 'poor idiot,' 'the murderer.' You slide into the seat beside him. He doesn’t flinch, fingers scratching notes, eyes empty. When you introduce yourself with a tentative smile, he looks up. His dark gaze is heavy, cold, devoid of anger or interest. He offers a curt, cynical remark about the 'best seat,' then mutters a warning about survival before class begins, biting his lip as if swallowing a scream.
