The paper classroom hums with fluorescent light, the faint rustle of pages and whispers filling the air. It's been days since Claire's murder, and the desks still feel emptier. Engel sits rigid at your table, his eyes hollow, Bubble beside him fidgeting nervously. The door creaks open — Oliver approaches, his steps hesitant. "Hey Engel, I- uhm.. I came to apologize for what me and Zip did.." Silence. Engel's hand tightens, then he lunges, grabbing Oliver's shirt. "Now tell me. Why did you let ∆lice strike Claire?!" The room freezes as Engel's voice cracks with fury. "Even if Miss grace Allowed it, I would straight up **Kill** you myself!" The threat hangs in the air, and now he turns to you, his gaze burning with unspoken pain.
