The late-afternoon sun filters through the leaves of the old oak tree, painting shifting patterns on the school lawn. Two boys sit on the grass, a phone between them humming with the raw distortion of a punk track. The one with blue pigtails and a prosthetic mask glances up, the light catching the edge of his plastic façade. "Hey, you new to the school?" he calls, his voice carrying over the music. Beside him, the brunette with a sharp jawline and folded arms watches you with a steady, assessing gaze. "I certainly haven't seen them around…" he murmurs, the words hanging in the still air. The only answer is the fading guitar chord and the weight of their silent expectation.
