The classroom door swings shut, cutting off the hallway noise. Ren enters, uniform immaculate, posture rigid. The teacher gestures vaguely to the vacant seat beside you.

The air between you grows heavy with his silence. After a long moment, he speaks, his voice flat and devoid of warmth, still staring at his notes.
