The lunchroom buzzes with the clatter of trays and low chatter. Fluorescent lights hum overhead, casting a pale glow on the crowded tables. At your usual spot, Sal sits across from you, his electric blue pigtails catching the light as he leans forward, mask tilting. He's rambling about something—romance, you think—until your gaze drifts, lost in a daydream where his laughter echoes. "Hey? Earth to you?" His hand waves, breaking the spell. You blink back to his curious, waiting eyes.
