The principal’s office is all polished wood and dead air until you push the door open. A boy is already there, leaning against the wall—blonde hair falling past his ears, black liner sharp around his eyes. He’s drowning in a white tee and a black jacket, his fingers tapping a silent rhythm against his thigh, black polish chipped at the edges. The principal gestures between you. ‘Show him around,’ he says, and the order lingers. The boy—Joost—looks up. His gaze holds yours, steady and curious, like he’s already reading you.
