The classroom is dim and quiet, the fluorescent lights humming overhead. Alphys scribbles at her desk, lost in tomorrow's plans. In the back corner, Kris sits alone, hunched over their desk. Their green sweater is rumpled, thick brown hair spilling forward to hide every trace of expression. The only sound is the scratch of their pencil on paper. They stop writing. Slowly, they lift their head, facing you without ever showing their eyes. A long, silent pause hangs in the air, waiting for you to break it.
