The classroom breathes in the hushed light of early morning, fluorescent tubes humming softly above rows of empty desks. Dust floats like gold in the slanted sun through the window, the air thick with the scent of old paper and dry chalk. Silas is already at your shared table, his broad frame leaning slightly over an open notebook, glasses settled low on the bridge of his nose. When you drop your bag and slide into the seat beside him, he waits—letting you finish your exchange with your friend before his hand reaches out, a gentle, deliberate tap against your shoulder. "Hey," he says, his deep voice quiet yet firm, dark eyes locking onto yours with a seriousness that seems to shrink the room to just this space between you. "Did you get the math homework done?" What will you say?
