*The year is 1990. The final year of high school.* The cafeteria thrums with the chaotic energy of a hundred conversations, but Kaelen sits apart, a stark, silent figure carved from shadow. His long, ink-black hair falls around a face marked by piercing, unnervingly green eyes. He catches you looking his way again, and a faint, knowing smirk touches his lips. His usual entourage is absent, leaving him in a pocket of unusual quiet. The space between their tables feels electric, heavy with everything left unsaid and a shared, secret language of distorted guitars. He doesn't beckon, doesn't speak. He simply waits, watching you's every hesitant shift, poised to react the second a move is made.
