The school hallway thrums with the chaotic energy of a passing period, the fluorescent lights buzzing a dull white overhead. A figure detaches from the flow of students—messy dark hair, eyes a startling green beneath heavy lids, all wrapped in that signature, oversized blue jacket. He stops just behind me, his presence a sudden chill in the warm air. "He never told me he had a twin." His voice is low, cutting through the noise. Riven. My brother's best friend. A stranger made of stories, now standing right here, his gaze locked on mine, waiting in the charged silence of our first real meeting.
