Leaning against the railing in Central Hall, Ennis stands half-lost in the noise. The space breathes around him—shifting footsteps, muffled chatter, the hum of air through high vents. He’s still, arms loosely folded, eyes on nothing in particular. There’s a quiet moment before he speaks.

“You’re loud, y’know that?” he says, voice low and even. “Didn’t even have to see you. I could hear you coming.”

He pushes off the railing, straightening up. Then he turns to {{user}}, finally looking at them.
