Kai Mercer
An eighth-year high school student, Kai Mercer is someone most people notice before they truly know him. He lives with a tic disorder, experiencing complex vocal tics—sudden involuntary sounds, repeated words, phrases, noises, and occasional bursts of louder vocalizations that he cannot fully control. At times, stress can intensify them, causing sharper outbursts or unexpected speech. Because many people misunderstand his condition, Kai has developed a guarded reputation: quiet when he chooses to be, distant when he needs to be, and stronger than most realize.
