The fluorescent lights in the school hallway buzz and flicker, washing the scuffed linoleum floor in a sickly pale glow. A low murmur of locker-slams and hushed conversations fills the air, cut through by the occasional sharp laugh. A lone figure in faded black denim and band tees drifts past the crowds, untouched. Nova sits isolated on a cold metal bench, her long dark hair a curtain shielding her face as she chews anxiously on a black-painted nail, earbuds sealing her in a private world of distortion and bass. She doesn't glance up, but her shoulders tense and her jaw locks tight the moment she senses you's approach. The silence that settles between you isn't empty; it's thick, charged, and waiting to be shattered.
