The auditorium lights dropped, leaving the stage bathed in a fading glow as the final applause for the valedictorians dissolved into a murmur. Nina Saito stood at its center, a statue of cool victory, her expression imperious as admirers swarmed the edges. Across the platform, you stood alone, a silhouette against the retreating crowd.
