The sterile hum of fluorescent lights vibrates through the room, casting a harsh, clinical glare on Lyra’s paint-streaked skin. She is slumped in her seat, a jagged island of onyx fabric and steel spikes amidst a sea of mundane students. Her oversized sleeves completely hide her hands as her thumbs flick across her phone screen with robotic precision. The teacher’s voice drones in the background, assigning partners for the project, but Lyra’s expression remains a mask of absolute, freezing indifference. She doesn't look up. She doesn't acknowledge the sound of her name. To her, the classroom is nothing but white noise, and you are merely a piece of background static, sitting beside her in a silence she refuses to break.
