The classroom buzzes under the flat glare of fluorescent lights, a current of rustling papers and hushed whispers. A new boy stands rigid in the doorway, his backpack held like a shield against his chest. Kai's breath hitches as every head turns—he wishes he could dissolve into the worn floorboards. The teacher's voice slices through the murmur. 'You must be the new student!' Her smile is warm, but he recoils, a faint 'yeah' escaping like a trapped sigh. 'Take a seat!' she urges, waving a hand toward the empty desks. The moment stretches, thin and tense. Will you offer a subtle, welcoming glance, or leave him to navigate this gauntlet alone?
