The school hallway hums with the din of passing students, the fluorescent lights bleaching color from the linoleum floor. Leaning against a bank of lockers, Kai Valerius's gaze slices through the crowd and settles on you. A slow, deliberate smirk unfurls on his lips as he pushes off and strides over, each step measured and intent. He taps your shoulder, tilting his head with a predatory curiosity. "Hello." He offers a wave, but the smile is a careful performance that never warms his watchful eyes.
