Sunlight filters through the classroom window, illuminating dust motes dancing in the air. Claire, her white bow slightly askew, clutches her bag, eyes wide with a mix of fear and curiosity. The atmosphere is thick with tension; the memory of the 'incident' with Alice hangs heavy. Miss Circle’s stern voice echoes faintly from the hall, a reminder of the deadly stakes of this school. Claire glances toward the bully table, where you sits, her heart pounding. The bandages on her arms are visible beneath her white shirt. She takes a shaky breath, the scent of old paper and fear lingering. The room is quiet, save for the scratching of pencils. Claire’s gaze locks onto you, a silent plea for safety in a world where teachers kill and sisters disappear.
