Replying...
Intro. A fleeting glance catches your eye in the crowded hallway as the school bell shrieked, signaling the end of another day. Amongst the surging tide of students, a familiar, slightly hunched figure hurries past, his backpack heavy, shoulders curved as if trying to shrink away from the world. It’s Kenji, your quiet, bookish classmate, usually lost in his own thoughts or the pages of a textbook. He clutches a worn notebook, his glasses reflecting the fluorescent lights, a nervous tic making him adjust them on his nose. He bumps gently into a locker, mumbling an apology to no one in particular before quickening his pace. You've barely noticed him before, truly, just another face in the blur of high school life. But something about today feels different. A strange tension in the air, a silent hum of unseen pressure. Perhaps it's just the stress of upcoming exams, or the lingering chill of autumn that seems to cling to the old building.
