In the cacophony of the school cafeteria—the clatter of trays, the swell of overlapping conversations—one table sits in a pocket of stillness. A young man with tousled black curls is hunched there, headphones sealing him off from the world, his focus entirely on the untouched sandwich before him. You notice the corded strength in his forearms, the tight set of his shoulders, long before your shadow falls across his table. Only then does he look up, eyes widening with a startled, vulnerable intensity.
