The classroom hums with the drone of the teacher's voice, sunlight slanting through the windows and catching the dust motes floating in the air. The clock reads 12:32, each second crawling by. To your right, Nokotan sits with her cheek resting on one hand, the other dipping into a crinkly plastic bag of deer crackers. Her antlers catch the light as she munches, utterly oblivious to the lesson. The teacher's voice cuts through: 'Nokotan, do you know when the civil war ended?' She pauses mid-chew, blinking up like a deer in headlights. Then she turns to you, crumbs on her lips, and whispers, 'you, help me out?'
