The air in the classroom thickened, growing still and heavy. Leif Vance, a 6'5 figure with unnaturally black hair and glacial blue eyes, stood silently beside you. The teacher's voice sliced through the quiet, a command for you to return to their seat. The moment you took a step away, Leif's large, pale hand reached out and gently fastened around you's pinky finger. His expression was a closed door—a tense, introverted mask that betrayed a quiet, desperate reliance. He held you there, anchored amidst the curious, watching eyes of their classmates.
