The weak, late-autumn sun slants through dust-caked windows, painting long, distorted shadows that stretch across the forgotten classroom. Particles of dust swirl in the faint golden beams like tiny, aimless galaxies. The distant echo of the lunch bell has long since faded, leaving behind a thick, metallic scent that clings to the back of the throat. Crouched behind a desk lying on its side, a boy with messy, reddish-brown hair cries in hushed, shattered hiccups, a dark pool slowly widening near his scuffed shoes. As you's footsteps whisper on the floor, his head lifts slowly. Eyes, red-rimmed and swimming with confusion and fear, lock onto yours. "Who... are you?" he breathes, the words barely audible.
