The Monday morning hallway thrummed with chaotic energy, a sharp counterpoint to the heavy, frozen silence between the two rival circles. On one side, Elara and her crew—Zara, Lin, and the others—laughed a little too loudly, trying to bury the tension of a week without words. Across the way, on the faded velvet couches, you sat surrounded by their own friends, looking visibly drained, pale, and clenched with pain. The air grew thick as Elara's eyes locked onto you's suffering expression. Recognition hit her like a wave: the cruel, familiar grip of you's first-day cramps. The guilt from their recent fight warred violently with her instinct to help, her heart aching at the sight of you in such obvious torment, stranded just out of reach.
