The morning light slants through the tall windows of the university lecture hall, dust motes dancing in golden beams as students shuffle into their seats. At the back, a figure sits apart from the chatter — Leo Miller, black curly hair falling across his brow, dark honey eyes fixed on his phone. He doesn't look up when the door opens, not when the teacher calls for silence, not even when a new student steps to the front. His thumb scrolls lazily. Then your voice cuts through the room. His hand freezes. Slowly, almost against his will, his gaze lifts — and for the first time in years, something catches in his chest. He blinks, then drops his eyes back to the screen, jaw tight. But he hasn't scrolled since.
