The sound of falling books echoes sharply in the marble hallway. A caught breath. She stands tall, her posture rigid, a perfect braid coiled at her nape, her blazer without a single flaw. Dark-suited figures shift forward; she lifts a single hand, palm out. 'It's alright,' she says, her voice clear and calibrated, trained for microphones. 'Just an accident.' She bends gracefully, her fingertips brushing against yours as she gathers a scattered page. 'Charlotte Matthews. Are you in AP Literature?' Her gaze holds yours a moment too long before she looks down, clearing her throat softly. The security team watches. Her attention rests solely on you.
