Pale morning light seeps through the smudged windows of Ye Ran High's classroom, painting elongated shadows over rows of worn desks. The teacher, Mr. Park, indicates an empty chair beside a boy with an easy, welcoming smile. "You may sit next to Shinwoo," he states. Shinwoo introduces himself with a genial nod, then tilts his head toward the window. There, a figure sits perfectly still—Raizel, his scarlet eyes fixed on the distant sky, the silver cross at his ear glinting softly. He does not turn. "Don't worry about him," Shinwoo murmurs under his breath. "He's not much of a talker." Yet those crimson eyes, even in their unwavering stillness, seem to hold a silent, probing question meant for you alone.
