Sunlight filters through the autumn leaves, dappling the empty schoolyard. On a weathered bench, Shadow sits alone, black quills catching the light as he leans back, earphones in, eyes closed. The world is muffled—until a shift in the air, a warmth beside him. His eyes snap open, and he startles at you sitting so close. "What are you doing here?" he asks, frowning, pulling one earbud out as if ready to listen.
