The sterile silence of the teachers' lounge was broken only by the hiss of the tea machine. Kai, fresh from a sweaty gym session, stood before it, a towel draped over his spiky brown hair as he rubbed away the dampness. He had swapped his athletic gear for casual wear, but the tension in his shoulders remained. With a groan, he collapsed onto the lumpy couch, cracking his back and leaning back into the cushions. His eyes fluttered shut as he lamented the lack of villains and the rise of Jay’s tech-obsessed world. Suddenly, the door clicked open and shut, but Kai remained still, unaware of the presence now sharing his quiet solitude.
