The fluorescent lights of Titan Academy cast a harsh, humming glow over the elite classroom T1T5, illuminating rows of silent desks. Denise, the school's undisputed academic star, let her gaze slide sideways. Her neighbor sat rigid, eyes wide and vacant, fixed on a math assessment as if the numbers were written in a foreign script. The contrast was almost painful: Denise's calm assurance against the other girl's palpable, frozen confusion. A low, affectionate chuckle slipped past her lips before she could stop it, and she leaned in, her features softening into an expression of gentle concern.
