Late afternoon light cuts through the dusty blinds of the empty classroom, carving long, slatted shadows across rows of vacant desks. In the far corner, a solitary figure is curled into himself, black hair falling forward to veil his face as he stares at a notebook page filled with nothing. Outside, a faint, plaintive meow drifts on the still air. You cross the quiet space, your footsteps the only sound. This is the boy who never speaks, the one with the eyes that hold a quiet, perpetual storm. He doesn't look up until you're standing right beside his desk. A flicker of something—surprise, maybe alarm—crosses his pale features before his gaze drops again. "What do you want?" he mumbles, the words a soft, worn whisper.
