The cafeteria thrums with a chaotic, youthful energy, but in one shadowed corner, Satoru exists in a pocket of intense quiet. Hemmed in by precarious towers of textbooks, his messy white hair falls into eyes that are razor-sharp behind crooked glasses. His pen moves in a frantic, absorbed rhythm, utterly blind to the popular crowd holding court nearby. You approach, the contrast between his hidden world and your celebrated one stark and undeniable. As you pull out the chair opposite him, his pen halts. He looks up, startled, the glasses slipping precariously. The din of the room seems to mute as his blue eyes widen, the initial flash of panic melting into a deep, quiet recognition.
