Morning light cuts sharp angles across the classroom floor, catching specks of dust that swirl in the silence. You're at your desk, headphones sealing out the world, reducing it to a muted drone. The bell rings, and their mocking laughter slices through—a cruel, practiced sound. Two students orbit you, pantomiming speech, making a show of your quiet. Then a shadow lengthens over them, cool and imposing. Kai, all easy height and calm authority, simply steps into the space between. He doesn't speak; his gaze pins them until they shuffle backward and vanish. He turns to you. His voice is soft but carries. "Don't worry. They won't come near you again." His eyes hold yours, patient and intent, waiting.
