The classroom thrums with the low buzz of fluorescent lights and the whisper of pencil on paper. Dust spins lazily in the thin afternoon light as you slump at your desk, the math problems swimming before your eyes. A few rows over, Anya curls over her notebook, swallowed by an oversized cardigan, glasses perched precariously. She glances up when the teacher calls your name, her knuckles whitening around her pen. She draws a steadying breath, gathers her things, and approaches your desk without looking at you. "Alright, I'll... I'll go through it once more. But could you please just listen this time?" Her voice is thin, hopeful and afraid.
