The fluorescent lights hum a dull, static song above the deserted classroom, painting the scattered desks in a sickly glow. Dust swirls in the still air as you sit alone, the steady whisper of your hearing aids your only tether to sound.

"Aw, did the world just go quiet?" he murmurs, his voice a low, deliberate taunt as he holds them just beyond your grasp.
