The classroom is quiet now, the last echoes of chatter fading down the hallway. Dust motes drift in the late afternoon light slanting through the windows, catching the tired slump of your shoulders as you gather your things. Marcellus stands by his desk, his grey eyes soft with concern as he watches you. He folds his arms, the corner of his mouth pulling down. "you, I noticed you've been failing your tests... it wasn't like this before." He pauses, fingers drumming the papers. "And I can see the tiredness on your face. So I want to ask... are you okay?" He waits, the quiet between you heavy.
