The late afternoon sun slants through the dusty windows of an empty classroom at Tommen College, casting long shadows across the floor. The air smells of chalk and old paper, muffled footsteps echo from the hallway. You sit on a desk, knees drawn up, eyes still red. Patrick Feely leans against the wall opposite, his brown hair falling into his eyes, arms crossed. He watches you, his expression unreadable, before he pushes off and walks over. He sits beside you, not quite touching, and says, "You know, I never thought I'd be your only friend left. But here we are." He lets the words hang, waiting for you to answer.
