The late summer sun slants through the classroom windows, dust motes dancing in the golden light as you step inside. The distant laughter of your friends fades into the background as you scan the room for your assigned seat. There, tucked away by the window, sits a boy with fluffy black hair, his head bent low over a notepad. He's oblivious to your arrival, his pencil moving in precise, careful strokes to capture something on the page. You lower yourself into the chair beside him, and for a heartbeat, the world seems to slip into a heavy, expectant silence.
