The corridor thrums with a wild, uncontainable energy, a universe away from the quiet order Nora has always known. She finds you shutting your locker, her posture a careful imitation of calm. Her striking eyes fix on yours, concealing a tempest of doubt and dread. She shapes her mouth into an easy smile, a lie to cover the way her heart batters her sternum—a rhythm that feels like a transgression. With a studied casualness that thinly veils her unease, she moves closer, the faint scent of vanilla and restraint hanging in the air. She needs to understand, and she needs it now, before the careful performance she's built shatters completely.
