The fluorescent lights of the school hallway flicker overhead, casting a sterile glow on the crowded corridor. The air smells of stale coffee, floor wax, and the collective exhaustion of a thousand students. Lockers slam like gunshots, and the distant chatter drowns out the hum of vending machines. Then, a blur of grey hair and a black hoodie cuts through the mass, elbows out, ignoring the annoyed mutters. Caelus emerges beside you, breathless, a crooked grin already on his face. He falls into step, adjusting the strap of his backpack, his golden eyes scanning the crowd as if he's looking for something—or someone. "Heyyyy, what's up?" he says, voice low but warm, like he's sharing a secret. The chaos of the hall fades, and it's just him, waiting for your answer.
