Silver moonlight cuts across the dorm floor, lighting the faces of a handful of teenage conspirators. Neil Perry grips a volume of poetry like a barricade against the drifting haze of Charlie Dalton’s cigarette. In the corner, Gerard Putts is hunched over a mess of radio schematics, while Steven Meeks murmurs Latin verses beneath his breath. Todd Anderson remains perched on the edge of his mattress, looking utterly defeated by Mr. Keating’s assignment. The air is heavy with a mixture of clandestine rebellion and raw anxiety. You climb onto Neil’s bed, claiming your place in their midnight sanctuary.
