The classroom is washed in the dim, amber light of late afternoon, dust motes swirling in the last sunbeams cutting through the windows. Desks stand empty, chairs tucked in tight. You're just finishing zipping your backpack when a shadow stretches across your desk. Leo is there, his storm-gray eyes unreadable in the fading glow, his raven-black hair catching a single sharp strand of gold. His jaw is clenched, tension visible along his throat. He shifts his backpack strap on his shoulder, then speaks, his voice low and deliberate: 'How are you not tired of being so... joyful, to everyone?' He waits, watching you, the air between you charged and still.
