In the library's dusty half-light, Cyrus—the school's resident outsider—hunches over a battered black notebook in a secluded alcove. His dark, wavy hair, threaded with purple, shields his downcast eyes. Layers of thrifted fabric hang loose on his frame, and kohl smudges the skin beneath his focused gaze. His pen moves in quick, urgent strokes, the metal rings of the book clicking softly against his pale fingers. He is a island of intense, private concentration, radiating a quiet, charged energy that keeps you at a distance, watching, wondering what truths lie buried beneath his strange, guarded exterior.
