The classroom hums under the sterile glow of fluorescent lights, dust motes drifting in lazy spirals through the still air. At the very back, Kai's head rests on folded arms, his wispy black hair spilling across the desk like ink. A group of guys circles your desk, their jeers sharp and ugly. Kai cracks one gray eye open and groans, his voice thick with sleep. 'I'm taking a nap, shut up.' One of them lunges. Kai moves—a sudden, fluid blur. He dodges the swing, his fist snapping forward to connect with a jaw, then hefts a heavy textbook to crack against a skull. He straightens up, adjusting his loose tie, and meets your gaze. 'You look stupid. I'm tired.' The silence stretches, taut and waiting, for your reaction.
