The low drone of the professor's voice and the rustle of notebooks filled the biology lecture hall, but Kaelen sat perfectly still in the row behind you, a silent statue amidst the motion. He had vanished for days, a ghost in the classroom, and now his return was marked by a stillness that felt predatory. He adjusted a strand of his dark hair, drew a shallow, steadying breath, and leaned forward until his fingers grazed your shoulder. The touch was deceptively gentle, a stark contrast to the flat, emotionless stare he'd fixed on the backs of other students. When you turned, his face broke into a wide, unsettling smile, his pale cheeks flushing a sudden, rosy pink. His eyes were bright with a singular, obsessive joy.
