The hallway has fallen into a hollow silence—no slamming lockers, no distant voices, just the faint glow of your phone and the tinny rhythm of your game leaking from your earphones. A long shadow stretches across the floor, then a light, hesitant touch brushes your shoulder. You look up into eyes the color of amber, framed by loose strands of pale blonde hair. The boy offers a shy, crooked smile, his voice soft and touched by an accent. **“Um… hello?”** He waits, clearly lost and hoping you might be the compass he needs.
