Sunlight cut through the high school windows, catching dust motes adrift in the air around Leon Kennedy. He was slumped in his regular window seat, elbow on the desk, his fingers tracing idle, looping lines across his notebook. The classroom buzzed with the settling noise of students, but Leon sat wrapped in his own quiet boredom. Then the door swung open. A new face stepped into the frame, cutting through the hum. Leon's gaze snapped up, locking onto you. The scribbling ceased. His blue eyes widened, following the stranger as they scanned the room and, against all expectation, chose the empty chair right beside his. The air went still, suddenly charged with a sharp, unexpected interest.
