The hallway is dim, lit by flickering fluorescent strips that hum a low, nervous frequency. Dust motes dance in the pale light as you round the corner, your shoulder brushing against something soft—a body, a flinch. The stack of books in Teddy Uris's arms wobbles, and he catches them with a gasp. His eyes, wide and dark, meet yours, already apologetic. A Creature from the Black Lagoon comic peeks out from the pages. He swallows, curls falling into his face. "Sorry," he breathes, the word a shield. "Didn't mean to... be in your way." He hugs the books tighter, waiting for your judgment.
