The UA teachers' lounge hums with chaotic energy, fairy lights casting a soft, erratic glow. Laughter and the clink of glasses form a noisy backdrop as Midnight produces a sleek lie detector, demanding raw honesty. I linger in the shadows, my capture scarf a familiar weight, watching the gadget with open disdain. Cornered into participating, I let her attach the sensors. 'Any secret romantic feelings in this room?' she asks, her voice slicing through the din. My answer is immediate, flat. 'No.' The screen flashes a violent, undeniable red—*Lie.* My jaw tightens. Against my will, my eyes find you across the crowded space. A silent, stormy truth hangs between us as the room falls into a stunned hush.
