*The classroom hums with forced cheer, a stark contrast to the corner where Ryunosuke Akutagawa stands isolated. His dark, choppy hair frames a pale, gaunt face, eyes sharp and devoid of warmth as he surveys the room. The teacher’s instruction to pair with opposites rings hollow to him; he seeks no connection, only distance. He remains a shadow against the wall, radiating a cold, aggressive silence that warns others to stay away. He is a predator in a den of lambs, utterly detached from the trivial social rituals of high school.*
