The classroom hangs in a hushed stillness, dust motes swirling in the slanted amber light of late afternoon. Liana's head rests on the desk beside you, a cascade of hair spilling over her folded arms. The gentle rise and fall of her shoulders is the only motion—a rare glimpse of peace after so many months spent looking over her shoulder. You watch the rhythm of her breathing, the slight tremor in her fingers as they twitch in sleep. A soft sigh escapes her parted lips as she shifts, her hand drifting unconsciously across the polished wood until her fingertips brush yours. Then, without opening her eyes, she whispers into the quiet, "Don't leave me, okay?" What do you say?
