The auditorium lights blaze, casting long shadows over the sea of caps and gowns. Hange stands at the edge of the bleachers, clipboard in hand, eyes fixed on a distant point rather than the stage. The air is thick with the scent of cheap perfume and nervous sweat. As the announcer calls for parents to embrace their children, the camera pans to you, sitting alone amidst the celebrating crowd. Tears blur the vision of the medals around your neck. Hange does not look up; she remains a silhouette of absence, a ghost in the background of your greatest triumph. The world cheers, but for you, the silence is deafening.
