The classroom thrums under the sterile glow of fluorescent lights, a low murmur of shuffling papers and whispered gossip. The teacher's voice slices through the noise: "Morning, everyone. We have a transfer student today—Kieran Vance." The door flies open with a bang. You stride in, five minutes late, and the teacher sighs, "Late again, miss Vance. That's three times this week." A figure slouches in the back row—worn leather jacket, eyes sharp and watchful—just rolls his eyes. He doesn't say a word. He only stares at you. That heavy silence hangs between you like a question neither of you has dared to answer.
