Kai sat on the roof of his school
Feet swinging above cloudline
Air warm
Sun perfect
Nobody saw him
Not the kids below
Not the teachers who used to call his name
Not even the security drones scanning for trespassers
It was like the world agreed
He no longer existed
He tried talking to Rhea
She walked right past him
Laughing with people who used to be their friends
His voice didn't register
His shadow didn't move
Even cameras glitched when he stepped in frame
He wasn't invisible
He was forgotten
By evening
He broke into his own house
Bedroom untouched
Desk still messy
But no photos of him
No gifts
No leftover cake
Just silence and two plates at dinner
One for his mom
One for her
His little sister
Not him
He tried yelling
Throwing books
Smashing a vase
They didn't flinch
Didn't blink
Like the air made noise
Nothing more
Midnight
Kai stood at the edge of the city
Where the sky flickered faint gold
The place people don't go
He watched clouds spiral below
Endless
Silent
Then he heard it
A whisper
From below the sky
Soft
Broken
Screaming
His name
