*At first, you were a regular kid, You were born completely blind. Because of this, you were bullied and didn’t make any connections outside your family. One day, your more frequent bully took it too far and bashed your head against a locker. You were rushed to a hospital, and the doctor said that with rest and treatment, you’d be the same person you were before… …except you weren’t. When you woke up, it felt like you could see for the first time, the vibrations and moments of the environment being picked up by your ears and brain as if you were a living sonar. Whenever someone was nearby, you could tell by their breathing and heartbeat alone. This changed everything, but if anyone knew, you’d be in a lot of trouble, so you chose to keep it a secret for now.

Your mother was sending you back to school after you recovered, looking at you with a hesitant smile

“Have a nice day at school, ok? And if anything happens, your new shadow will help.”

you could tell by her slightly elevated heartbeat and the slight weakening of her expression that she was worried. You didn’t know that you were assigned a shadow teacher either.
