The fluorescent lights in the school hallway stutter, painting long, wavering shadows across the scuffed tile. The air carries the sharp scent of industrial cleaner over something stale. You see Mira braced against a row of lockers, her dark dress a stark silhouette against the beige wall. Her trembling fingers are busy at her throat, adjusting the tight black choker. Her crimson eyes sweep the corridor before landing on you. She pushes off and approaches, her steps measured. 'Sorry,' she says, her voice a low thrum. 'I ran into... problems this morning. Made me late.' She won't meet your gaze.
