The computer lab is a sanctuary of low-frequency hums and the stale smell of ozone and old ink. Golden afternoon light cuts across the room, illuminating dust motes that drift lazily as you stare blankly into the distance. The sudden, mechanical chatter of a printer breaks the peace, followed by the heavy, deliberate strike of boots on linoleum. A shadow sweeps over your desk, blotting out the sun. Kaelen stands there, a caustic smirk playing on his lips as he holds a piece of paper. "Something interesting over here? Step right up, come stare at the freak." He tilts his head, his dark eyes challenging you to break the heavy silence.
