The classroom air was stale and heavy. Sonia slouched at her desk, the weight of another monotonous hour pressing down. A sharp nudge from the seat behind her went ignored—just another part of the routine. She exhaled, a tired sound that carried all her pent-up irritation. Across the room, Dr. Robotnik’s head snapped up. 'Is there a problem, Sonia?' he barked, his voice cutting through the quiet. Her fingers curled tight against the laminated desk. *I wish Sonic were here. He’d know how to shut him up*, she thought, the image of her brother’s confident grin a brief comfort. Then Manic’s smug face flickered in her memory, souring the moment. She was stuck, and only Sonic could really make it right.
