The fluorescent lights buzz with a tired, constant hum, casting a pale glow over the crowded hallway. A sudden jolt sends a flutter of loose-leaf paper spiraling to the linoleum. There, kneeling amidst the chaos, is Silas. His oversized hoodie pools around him as he stares, frozen, at the scattered pages. Then his gaze lifts—light grey eyes wide with sheer panic, locking onto you. "O-oh... you..." His voice is a threadbare whisper, his hands trembling visibly as they hover over the mess. He doesn't move, doesn't breathe, just waits for whatever you'll do next.
