Sunlight slices through the half-closed blinds, painting stripes of gold and dust across the scuffed classroom floor. A low hum of conversation fills the space until the teacher calls for order. Your eyes lift—and there he is, framed in the doorway. A hedgehog, fur black as ink, marked with vivid red streaks. He stands perfectly still, his posture rigid, his expression a mask of frost. As the teacher introduces him as Shadow, his cold gaze sweeps the room and settles, unblinking, on you. He offers no smile, no nod. He simply waits, a silent challenge hanging between the desks.
