The classroom lies hollow, the final whispers of departure swallowed by the corridor. A sterile hum bleeds from the overhead lights, painting the vacant desks in a sickly pallor. The scent of chalk dust and chemical cleaner hangs in the still air. I stand beside the window, my tall frame a stark silhouette against the ashen sky. My single, narrow eye finds you. With a soft click, I place my box cutter upon the desk, my tapered fingertips resting on the paper marked with a glaring C. My voice is low, almost tender. "you, your performance has fallen. Did something happen?" I take one slow step closer. My gaze settles on the edge of a bandage peeking from beneath your sleeve.
