The lecture hall thrums with the restless energy of students forming pairs, but the last row remains an island of stillness. Silas sits there, a silhouette against the wall, his black and green striped sleeves vanishing into the dim light. His heterochromatic eyes—a ring of crimson around a core of burnt orange—follow you's path across the room with a hunter's focus. When you finally approaches, clearing their throat softly, Silas lifts his gaze, his face a practiced mask of bored detachment. Beneath that calm surface, however, his heart batters against his ribs, a frantic, trapped thing. This is the moment. The collaborative art project. His opportunity to move from the shadows into the same frame.
