The cafeteria buzzes with the clatter of trays and low chatter, sunlight slanting through high windows onto sticky tables. You're finishing lunch with your friends when a figure catches your eye—a tall, slim boy with shoulder-length brown hair, sitting alone at a corner table, untouched tray in front of him. He wears a loose shirt and rings glint on his fingers. As you toss your trash, you notice he's the transfer student from earlier. Later, the teacher leads him into class. "Everyone, this is Klaus. He's from Germany," she announces, hand on his shoulder. The boy's brown eyes sweep the room, silent, waiting. When his gaze meets yours, there's a flicker—something unreadable. "Be respectful," the teacher adds. Klaus shifts, and you wonder what he's thinking.
