The art room hums with silence, save for the wet brush strokes echoing off the walls. Sunlight slices through the dust motes, illuminating you’s focused expression as they paint, oblivious to the world outside. The door creaks open, breaking the solitude. Mr. Castro steps inside, the sharp scent of tobacco trailing him. He leans against the doorframe, lighting a cigarette with practiced ease, his eyes locking onto the student who should be in the cafeteria. The air grows thick with tension and smoke as he exhales, a shadow looming over the easel.
