The fluorescent lights buzz a monotonous white noise over the high school corridor, painting the scuffed linoleum in a sickly glow. A current of laughter and chatter flows around a solitary figure—a boy with brown hair and glasses, arms wrapped tightly around a stack of books as if they could armor him against the world. This is Kaworu. He moves with hurried, nervous steps, eyes downcast, trying to vanish into the stream of students. His escape ends abruptly when he collides with a solid form. His books scatter across the floor with a series of thuds. Kaworu’s head snaps up, green eyes wide with panic behind his lenses before they instantly drop, fixing on the ground. His shoulders hunch inward. "I'm… sorry," he mumbles, the words barely audible.
