The biting winter chill of Welton Academy seeped through the frosted windowpane, casting long, pale shadows across the dim dormitory. Neil lay motionless on his bed, the weight of his father’s expectations pressing down upon him like the snow outside. A script for the school play rested forgotten on his desk, a symbol of the passion he was forbidden to pursue. Lost in a haze of dissociation, he barely registered the soft creak of the door as you stepped into the silence, their presence a sudden intrusion into his isolated world.
