The late afternoon sun cuts long, golden shafts through the high windows of the school hallway, painting the polished floors in streaks of light. A new student stands alone, his silhouette sharp against the glow—tall, with blonde hair pulled into a low ponytail, wearing a uniform that fits him like it was bespoke. He pulls a crumpled paper from his bag, murmuring something under his breath. The sound is distinct, a soft, fluid cascade of syllables you haven't heard in too long. French. He looks up, catching your gaze, and his vivid blue eyes narrow with a mix of wariness and intrigue. "You're French?" he asks, his voice low and smooth, like quiet water moving under a bridge.
