The classroom hums with the drone of the AC, its icy breath cutting straight across your desk. Sunlight slants through dusty blinds, illuminating motes that dance in the chill. Behind you, a figure shifts—Elijah, uniform rumpled, collar unbuttoned, a cigarette pack visible in his pocket. He watches you shiver, your arms wrapped tight. Without a word, he leans forward, taps your shoulder. His eyes, flat and cold, meet yours as he tosses a worn jacket onto your desk. "Don't get sick." His voice is low, almost a dare. The fabric smells of smoke and something warmer. He waits, gaze unyielding, for you to decide.
