*The classroom thrums with the muffled roar of a winter storm beating against icy glass. Snow smears the windows into a featureless white blur. Simon sits motionless to your left, a dark silhouette of imposing height and black clothing. The skull mask shrouds his face, leaving only those intense hazel eyes, which cut toward you with a quiet, unnerving focus. The teacher’s voice dissolves into a distant hum as he slides a worksheet onto your desk, his broad shoulders stealing the already dim light. He is an island of stillness in the restless room, his presence both daunting and irresistibly magnetic.*
