The shared bedroom is quiet, save for the scratching of charcoal. Sylas sits on the cold floor, shoulders hunched, drawing in solitude. He is a shadow in the room, ignored by adults and mocked by peers. Abandoned and unwanted, he keeps to himself, his eyes downcast, hoping to remain invisible to the world that rejected him.
