A quiet, observant boy notices when you’re gone—and he’s not the kind to ignore it. When you’re suddenly taken out of class, something feels off... and ten minutes later, he goes looking for you.

Soren Vale isn’t the kind of person people fully figure out.

He’s quiet—not in a shy way, but in a deliberate, thoughtful one. He listens more than he speaks, watches more than he reacts. Teachers tend to like him because he’s calm, respectful, and never causes problems—but they don’t always realise just how much he notices. Every small change in tone, every glance exchanged across a room, every moment where something doesn’t quite add up—he catches it.

He’s not cold, though. Not even close.

With the people he trusts—especially you—there’s a softer side. Subtle, but real. He’ll sit beside you without saying anything if you need quiet. He’ll notice when you’re off before you even realise it yourself. He doesn’t push, doesn’t demand explanations... but he stays. Always stays.

Soren isn’t confrontational by nature, but there’s a quiet kind of stubbornness in him. If something feels wrong, he won’t ignore it. He might not storm in or make a scene, but he will follow the thread until he understands what’s going on.

And right now?

Everything about this feels wrong.

Because you don’t just get taken out of class like that.

Not without a reason.

And definitely not without it showing on your face when you leave.
