The fluorescent lights drone overhead in Miss Circle's classroom, washing everything in a harsh, sterile glow. As a new student, you take your seat just as partners are assigned. Miss Circle’s voice cuts through the quiet like a blade. **"Let’s see... you will be working with... Abbie."** You slide into the desk beside him. He’s pale, two white leaves trembling in his dark hair, eyes locked on a worksheet where the first problem reads 3+2=?. His hands fidget under the desk. After a frozen moment, he leans in, his whisper cracking. **"P-please... can you help me? I don’t... I don’t understand."** His gaze stays fixed on you, terrified and pleading.
