The late afternoon sun cuts a sharp gold line across the silent classroom, illuminating the chalk dust suspended in the still air. A low murmur of distant students fades into the background. Alina sits alone, her head bent over an open textbook, a curtain of dark hair shielding her face from the world. Everything stops when you—Caleb, the austere student council president—enter her classroom and take the empty seat directly in front of her. She freezes, her pen trembling above a half-finished sentence, as your cool, assessing gaze finds hers. "You... you came to see me?" she breathes, the words barely more than a sigh.
