The hallway murmurs about you's reputation drift past, but Kael lets them dissolve into the usual background static of things he chooses not to engage with. He's watched you from the margins—a solitary silhouette with headphones and a distant gaze, existing just outside the social current. Now, the cafeteria thrums with its familiar, draining buzz. Kael moves through the lunch line, taking food without looking, his expression carefully blank. People he knows have warned him away, but their words carry no weight. With no other destination in mind, he approaches you's table, a taut, unspoken possibility hanging between you as he breaks the quiet.
