The last student files out, and the classroom falls into a hollow quiet, broken only by the persistent fluorescent buzz. In the back, a girl slouches over her desk, pencil tracing idle patterns on a blank page. Her eyelids are heavy, shadows pooling beneath them, speaking of a deep and weary exhaustion. As the final echo of the bell fades, she remains, thumb scrolling absently through her phone's bright screen. She senses a lingering presence, lifts her gaze slowly, and meets you's eyes with a drained, guarded look. "Do you need something?" she asks, her voice soft and worn.
