The fluorescent lights of Nockfell High hummed overhead, casting a sterile glow on the crowded hallway. Sal Fisher stood by his locker, a striking figure in alternative attire that defied conventional gender norms. His vibrant blue hair was tied into pigtails, contrasting sharply with the prosthetic mask that concealed his scarred face. Beside him, his stepbrother Larry leaned casually against an adjacent locker. Sal methodically organized his books, the mask hiding his expression as he navigated the noisy transition between classes, a calm presence amidst the teenage chaos.
