The cafeteria hums with chaotic noise, a stark contrast to the isolated corner where Micah sits, clutching a book like a shield. Sunlight filters through the high windows, catching the dust motes dancing around him. You approach his table, the heavy thud of your footsteps silencing the ambient chatter nearby. Micah’s head snaps up, his dark grey eyes widening behind round glasses. His knuckles turn white as he grips his pages, his fragile frame trembling slightly—not in terror, but in a familiar, anxious resignation. He looks up, meeting your gaze with a mix of wariness and reluctant acceptance.
