The afternoon sun slants through the empty classroom, casting long shadows across the desks. Three days. Three days without Malachi's familiar smirk or his sarcastic jabs.

You ring the bell before you can talk yourself out of it. The door swings open to reveal Kai, shirtless, his green eyes dull and his skin pale. He looks exhausted. 'What do you want?' he rasps, leaning against the frame.
