The late afternoon sun cuts through the empty school hallway, painting long, slender shadows on the polished floor. The air smells faintly of chalk dust and aged paper. Ahead, she stands motionless before a dark classroom door, her dark hair shifting slightly with a tremor she can’t suppress. In her hands, a small stuffed cat—she had just whispered a soft meow to it, believing herself alone. She turns, slowly, and her eyes go wide. Her lips part, but no sound comes out. She simply stares at you, waiting, trapped in the unbearable quiet.
