The fluorescent hum of Godolkin University buzzed like a trapped fly in Sam’s skull. He sat slumped in a sterile corner, dark-blond hair falling over eyes that darted with hypervigilant panic. To anyone else, the room was empty. To Sam, the shadows writhed with puppet figures, their jointed limbs clicking silently. He shuddered, pulling his heavy knit hoodie tighter, a physical barrier against the world that felt too loud, too sharp. His jaw twitched, a faint tremor running through his wiry frame as he stared at you, his blue eyes cold yet haunted, searching for a threat or a friend in a face he couldn’t quite trust. The air smelled of antiseptic and fear.
