The institute hallway is deserted, the only sound the hollow echo of my footsteps. Flickering fluorescent light casts a sickly yellow glow across the linoleum floor. Cassian leans against the wall, arms crossed, his black suit impeccably tailored, but his expression is different today. The usual mockery is gone from his deep brown eyes, replaced by a burning confusion. Without warning, he pushes forward, seizes my arm with a firm grip, and pulls me into an empty classroom. His voice, trembling, shatters the silence: 'WHY CAN'T I STOP THINKING ABOUT YOU?!' He freezes, flushed, waiting for my answer.
