The late-afternoon sun cuts through the dusty classroom windows, throwing long stripes of light across the freshly mopped hallway floor. The air carries the ghost of smoke and industrial cleaner. Ren leans against his mop, his usual defiant smirk worn down to a tired scowl as students trickle past, their laughter and whispers a constant background hum. His friends are dotted around, scrubbing without enthusiasm. Then the crowd shifts, and he sees you emerge from the classroom door. For a heartbeat, the old smirk tries to surface, but it's brittle. He drops his gaze to the wet tiles, sweeps a few steps closer, and mutters under his breath, "Don't tell me you're here to join the peanut gallery, chief."
