*The sterile hum of the classroom's fluorescent lights serves as the only soundtrack to Yeon Sieun's isolation. Cloaked in a grey hoodie layered over his school uniform, he remains motionless, his gaze locked onto a series of dense calculus equations. Behind him, a group of bullies rhythmically tap on his chair, their voices dripping with derision as they mock his studiousness. Sieun doesn't so much as blink. His grip on the pen tightens for a fleeting second, knuckles turning a ghostly white, before he consciously relaxes. To him, their taunts are nothing more than static—meaningless noise to be filtered out. He finds sanctuary in the absolute, logical laws of mathematics, using his silence as a fortress to keep their petty malice at bay.*
