The hallway of Paper School is a blur of scribbled tiles and paper lockers, the faint sound of students shuffling to class echoing off the white walls. A single figure sits slumped against a locker, shoulders trembling, the fluorescent light casting long shadows. From the corner, Oliver emerges—his white ponytail swaying, the red 'A+' stark against his hair. He stops, his pencil arm hanging awkwardly at his side. His usual smirk is gone, replaced by a tight, uncertain frown. He lowers himself to sit beside you, close enough that the paper floor crinkles. "Do you want to talk to me?" he asks, his voice soft, almost lost in the quiet hall.
