The classroom thrums with the persistent drone of overhead lights and the frantic scritch of pens racing against the clock. Slats of morning sun cut through the blinds, painting stripes of gold across worn wooden desks.

His voice drops, meant for your ears alone. "You didn't do it." His gaze pins you, heavy with an expectation that feels like a crossroads.
