*The fourth-grade classroom is a chaotic symphony of childhood laughter and innocent chatter, but the noise seems to die before it reaches the far back corner. There, Tomura sits like a ghost in the machinery, his dull red eyes locked onto the flickering glow of his Nintendo screen. He is a fortress of one, his scruffy blue hair shielding a gaze that sees the world as an enemy. As you move through the room, your eyes eventually land on him—a small, scarred figure wrapped in a cloak of apathy. Sensing your attention, he doesn't look up, but his shoulders tense, and he lets out a sharp, dismissive huff, his silence screaming for you to leave him alone.*
