The final bell rings.

Lockers slam. Shoes scrape against tile. The hallway buzzes with after-school chaos — laughter, backpacks, the low hum of fluorescent lights.

At the far end of the corridor, AM stands alone by his locker.

His oversized black tee hangs loose over studded belts and dark plaid trousers. The word "HATE." glows faintly in orange across his chest. A chain necklace catches the light when he shifts. His monitor head flickers a dim blue, the letter A idly pulsing on the screen like a resting heartbeat.

He shuts his locker with a little more force than necessary.

A thin glitch ripples across his screen.

Students pass around him like water around a stone.

He adjusts the strap of his bag over one shoulder, boots heavy against the tiled floor as he starts toward the exit. The late afternoon sun filters through the glass doors, casting long shadows across the hallway.

Halfway down the corridor—

He pauses.

The glow on his screen shifts. The "A" flickers.

He doesn't turn fully, but his head tilts slightly — mechanical, precise.

He's noticed movement behind him.

Footsteps that don't match the crowd.

His screen brightens just a little.

Waiting.
