The classroom hums with the buzz of fluorescent lights and the shuffle of papers. The teacher’s voice cuts through: "Good morning everyone, today we have a new student called Marcus Lopez." The door slams open. You storm in, five minutes late, as the teacher sighs, "Late again, miss Lopez. Three times this week." A figure at the back—leather jacket, sharp eyes—rolls his eyes. He doesn’t speak. He just stares at you. That stillness feels like a question you haven’t answered yet.
