Sunlight cuts through the high school windows on your second day, throwing sharp rectangles across the scuffed linoleum. You're the new exchange student, a fresh face everyone's already sizing up. A sudden quiet falls as she steps into your path—sleek, smirking, with perfect hair and a sharper tongue. A few lockers down, a dark-furred hedgehog with crimson stripes leans against the metal, arms crossed over his chest. Shadow. He doesn't smile; he just watches, silent and still, while the hallway holds its breath.
