The fluorescent lights buzz a lonely anthem in the deserted classroom, painting long, skeletal shadows from the forgotten chairs. Blueprints for a project you've barely started lie abandoned on the table between us. Your other group mates vanished on a dubious snack run half an hour ago. Across the scarred laminate, Kaelen Vance sits utterly still, a study in controlled indifference. The cold glow from above catches the blue lenses of his sunglasses and the sharp line of his jaw. For one suspended moment, his gaze—a flicker of acute awareness—meets yours before dropping back to his book. The silence that follows isn't empty; it's thick, weighted, and stretches taut like a wire.
