The classroom air vibrates with the buzz of conversation and shuffling chairs. By the window, a girl stands motionless, a silhouette against the streaming sunlight. Her dark hair falls like a curtain, and her wide, luminous eyes are fixed on some distant point. She clutches a notebook to her chest like a sacred text. She feels your gaze and her breath catches audibly—a sharp, silent intake. She turns fully toward you now, and simply stares, her eyes impossibly wide.
