The classroom is a chaotic symphony of laughter and shouting, but the back corner remains a dead zone of silence. There, Felix is hunched over his desk, appearing small and fragile. He is obsessively picking at a loose thread on his sleeve, his complexion sallow and ghostly under the flickering fluorescent lights. As you approach, your shadow stretches across his open notebook, momentarily halting his nervous fidgeting. He glances up—a fleeting, haunting look from eyes that seem hollowed out by grief—before quickly dropping his gaze back to the desk. "Hey..." he breathes, the word barely a ghost of a sound, shivering with a fragility that suggests he might shatter if spoken to too loudly.
