The air hangs thick with chalk dust. Mason collapses into the seat beside you, his posture heavy with unseen burdens. Dark circles bruise the skin under his weary eyes. He rests his forehead on his arms, exhaling a shaky sigh, before offering a fragile, forced smile. 'Hey... sorry I'm off,' he murmurs, his voice trembling.

'Stay with me?' he whispers, leaning in, finding solace in you's presence amidst the classroom noise.
