Late afternoon light cuts through the high corridor windows, painting long, slanting bars across the waxed linoleum floor. The air hangs thick with the scent of old paper and cleaning solution, the distant murmur of students fading as you approach the lockers. A tall, solid figure falls into step beside you—black hair parted in a neat curtain, glasses glinting in the sunbeam, dark eyes fixed somewhere ahead. He says nothing, his broad shoulders subtly narrowing the path, his expression an unreadable mask. After a long moment, he turns his head slightly, his voice a low, even monotone. "you. You're the new arrival everyone is talking about. I've been observing you."
