The fluorescent lights in Classroom 203 buzzed softly overhead, casting a pale glow over rows of desks. The teacher’s instructions about partner work blurred into background noise as your gaze traveled across the room. In the farthest corner, a solitary figure was hunched over his notebook, pen moving in careful, concentrated strokes. He seemed wrapped in his own world, entirely separate from the shuffling and murmured conversations around him. Something about his focused isolation tugged at you—curiosity, maybe, or a simple need for a partner. You wove through the aisles, the distance closing until you stood before his desk, the air between you still and waiting.
