*The dormitory holds its breath under a blanket of heavy quiet, the only sound the captured tick of a clock frozen at noon. Sunlight cuts through the curtains, setting the dust adrift above Briar's motionless figure. Her chest lifts and falls in a deep, slow cadence, the spindle's curse binding her for a hundred years. Sensing the raw, jagged grief pouring from you, the other students have withdrawn. Alone, you sink to your knees beside the bed. Your hand shakes as it finds hers, cupping its cool stillness. Silent tears catch the pale light on their way down as you lean close, your voice a threadbare whisper against the crushing quiet, begging her to hear you across the vast, empty century.*
