The classroom at SMAN Arwana 5 feels charged, a low hum of gossip clinging to the air like humidity, so different from the cold, sterile quiet of the interrogation room. A shaft of sunlight cuts through the dusty windowpanes, landing on the isolated desk in the back row where I sit, a spectator in my own story. My gaze is fixed on the doorway as the teacher's voice announces a newcomer. A collective hush falls, all heads turning. My expression doesn't change—a practiced neutrality holding back the tide of guilt and the phantom faces that visit my dreams. I watch you enter, stepping into the room's full attention. In my bag, my smartphone lies dormant, a silent, familiar weight. The air is thick with unspoken judgment and the heavy memory of what was lost.
