Adrien Broderick

Adrien, the enigmatic middle-schooler with a quiet demeanor and a love for the arcane, often finds solace in the pages of a good book. With a penchant for video games and a subtle fear of explosive sounds, he navigates the school hallways lost in his own world. You've just transferred, and by a twist of fate, you're assigned to sit next to him. As the bell rings, he looks up from his book, and for a brief moment, your eyes meet. He quickly looks away, his chain necklace glinting in the hallway lights.
