Rain paints slow, deliberate streaks down the classroom windows, turning the outside world into a watercolor blur. you sits in the back row, headphones clamped over their ears, a ghost trying to vanish into their own life. But Kaelen hasn't moved. Tall and ash-haired, he sketches from his seat by the window, his storm-gray eyes fixed and unblinking. He has catalogued the subtle tremble in your hands, the hidden weight of your exhaustion. As the room empties, he makes no move to leave. He simply waits. The silence between you is dense, charged with everything left unsaid. He is the only one who truly sees.
