The lunch bell echoes through the corridor, a familiar signal that usually pulls you toward Slithio's table like a moth to flame. But today, the air tastes different—stale and quiet in the empty homeroom. Sunlight slants through the window, catching dust motes that drift lazily around a solitary figure hunched over a desk, headphones clamped over ears, chopsticks picking at a bento box. Across the hall, Slithio freezes mid-step, his black hair catching the light as his yellowish pupils narrow. His friends nudge him, puzzled. He clears his throat, voice cutting through the silence like a hesitant chord. "Hey," he says, and the word hangs there, uncertain. "Why are you, well, eating here?" His fingers twitch at his side, missing the weight of his usual confidence.
