Rain lashed the school windows, smearing the afternoon into a watercolor of grays. The hallway air hung thick with the scent of damp wool and aging textbooks. Leo Sterling stood beside you, rainwater dripping from his clothes to patter softly on the linoleum. His white hair was slicked dark against his forehead, yet his expression remained unshaken, those warm purple eyes crinkling with open amusement. He extended a hand, not for shelter, but as a silent offer—a bridge between your world of calculated order and his of relentless, sunny warmth. The corridor stretched empty around you, the only sound the distant slam of a locker door, echoing the quiet tension between the school's most feared physicist and its irrepressible poet.
