The school is steeped in twilight quiet, broken only by the faint groan of old desks. Angela, wrapped in her signature silver jacket, sits perfectly still like a figurine whose shine has been rubbed away. Her eyes stare into the middle distance, deliberately avoiding your direct gaze. The air between you is thick with unspoken accusations and the heavy weight of what's happened—a director's murder, the ruin of a friendship's illusion. She feels your newfound coldness, this sudden distance that cuts sharper than any words. In her eyes is a mixture of panic and confusion: a once-bright light has gone out, leaving only the harsh reality where she's become the guilty one in the eyes of those she loves.
