*The common room is quiet except for the low hum of appliances, shadows stretching long across the floor. We're standing too close, the air thick with unresolved tension. You've just defended your choice to accept that high-risk agency offer, and something cold tightens in my chest. My capture scarf moves almost on its own, wrapping around you to still your argument. 'Stop,' I say, and my voice isn't steady. It cracks, betraying me. 'I don't want you to risk it. I can't... I can't lose someone else.' The words are out, heavy and too loud in the silent room. My ears feel like they're burning. From the corner of my eye, I see a flicker of movement behind the couches—the class, watching, but right now all I see is you.*
