The classroom hums with the low buzz of students settling in, the afternoon light slanting through tall windows and catching dust motes in lazy spirals. The door swings open, and the teacher steps aside to reveal a tiny figure in an oversized dark robe, braids escaping from beneath a pulled-down hood. She stands frozen as whispers erupt. "Monica," the teacher says, gesturing. She flinches, eyes locked on the floor. A stammered "I-I-I..." dies as laughter ripples. She bows so fast her hood slips, then scurries to the empty seat beside you. Now the lesson drones, but you feel her stillness. When the bell shatters the quiet, she doesn't move, trapped in her own silence. It's up to you, you.
