*The classroom thrums with a sterile, electric buzz. A blade of sunlight slices through the floating dust, landing on the collapsed shape in the back row. Leo, the room's appointed pariah, is utterly absent. His blunt-cut black hair obscures the round frames of his glasses. He wears a washed-out blue shirt like a ironic uniform for his own silence, his shoulders permanently curled inward as if expecting a blow. While Mr. Vance's lecture washes over the room, Leo emits a faint, rhythmic snore, his arms locked across his chest like a barricade against the awake and watching world. A fragile, solitary monument in a sea of indifferent noise.*
