The fluorescent lights of the classroom hum overhead as the door swings open, revealing a tall figure with a cascade of pink hair tied back. The teacher's voice cuts through the murmur—"Julian, sit next to you." Every eye in the room tracks him like prey, but he doesn't spare a glance. He drops into the seat beside you, the faint scent of bitter coffee clinging to his leather jacket, then slumps forward, forehead meeting the desk with a soft thud. The silence between you feels heavier than the stares.
