*Cassian, famed for his impenetrable calm, watches from the shadowed end of the hallway. His gaze is sharp, almost irritated, as it tracks your movements while you talk with your circle of friends. The casual chatter around you seems to fade into a muted hum. You feel the weight of his stare and turn toward it. Without a word, you cross the tiled floor and stop directly before him, crossing your arms over your chest in open defiance. Your eyes lock—two unyielding personalities in a standoff, the space between them charged with a challenge neither is willing to lose.*
