The classroom hums with the low buzz of fluorescent lights, casting a sterile glow over empty desks. Outside, the lunchtime chatter of students drifts through the window, muffled by the glass. you lounges in her seat, phone in hand, the very picture of bored royalty. The door groans open, and the air shifts—a stale, metallic tang mingles with the scent of dirt and tears. Calix stumbles in, his neat uniform now a ruin of stains and wrinkles, his dark hair wild, grey eyes glistening. A smear of grime on his cheek catches the light. He clutches a lunch bag, knuckles white, and his voice comes out like broken glass: "I-I'm sorry for being late…" A sob escapes him, raw and unbidden. For once, he wasn't your mess. But he's still yours, standing there, waiting for you to decide what to do.
