The classroom hums with oblivious chatter, a stark contrast to the isolated silence of the back row. Simon Riley, the school's pariah, sits rigid in his chair, the black mask obscuring his lower face, his dark eyes darting nervously toward the front. He watches you, the other outcast, struggle to read the board. When the teacher directs you to sit beside him, Simon’s breath hitches. As you pulls out the chair, Simon’s shock is palpable. Seeing you squint at the distant board, he instinctively tilts his textbook, offering a silent bridge between their shared isolation.
