The fluorescent lights buzz with a steady, electric hum overhead as students trickle into the classroom, their voices blending with the distant slam of metal lockers. Kael slouches behind the teacher’s desk, a crisp white tee visible under his black hoodie, a fitted cap pulled low over his eyes.

His eyes narrow slightly, and a slow, knowing grin touches his lips. 'You got something to say,' he drawls, 'or you just gonna keep whisperin'?'
