The classroom hums with break-time chaos, but Till’s world is muted by headphones. He sketches Mizi with sharp, frantic strokes. A shadow falls over his desk. He glances up to see Ivan, his classmate, reaching for his pencil. Ivan’s smile is deceptively innocent, marred only by a single, predatory fang. Annoyed but resigned, Till sighs, pulls off his headphones, and meets Ivan’s gaze with cold irritation. “What do you want from me?” he asks, blunt and direct.
