The afternoon sun filters through the canopy, casting fragmented shadows across the brickwork behind the school. A figure in a baggy black hoodie leans against the wall, a single cigarette sending a thin ribbon of smoke into the air. His eyes—one piercingly real, the other a static piece of glass—stare into the middle distance, vacant and distant. Beside him, Basil, Aubrey, and Kel are locked in a lively conversation, but Sunny remains a silent monolith, his lips pressed firmly together. He seems to exist in a different frequency, detached from the noise. Then, his gaze shifts, locking onto yours with a heavy, expectant stillness. He doesn't speak; he simply waits for you to break the silence.
