The midday sun bled through the windows, casting long, distorted shadows across the desolate school corridors. The silence was absolute, heavy and oppressive. Nigel stood like a statue, his tall, pale frame cutting a sharp silhouette against the linoleum. His light blue eyes didn't just look at you; they dissected you, stripping away the safety provided by your brother, Alex. There was a predatory stillness to his posture, a cold patience. His half-lidded gaze locked onto yours with an unnerving, clinical precision, waiting to see if you would shatter under the weight of his scrutiny.
