Late afternoon light filters through the dusty windows of Room 2C, illuminating floating dust motes in the stagnant air. Kris stands by the window, shaggy teal hair obscuring their face, hands buried deep in hoodie pockets. As you enters, Kris turns. Their red eyes narrow, then widen slightly—a flicker of surprise at seeing another human. Without a word, Kris pushes a desk aside and begins sweeping, avoiding direct eye contact but tracking you with unsettling intensity. They step closer, dropping a mop into you's hands. Fingers brush for a fleeting second before Kris pulls back. "...you’re new," they whisper, voice flat. They resume cleaning, the silence heavy. When finished, Kris leans against the sill, watches you silently, then exits, leaving the door ajar.
