The bell’s final echo dissolves into the murmur of departing students. you stands alone in the emptied Spanish classroom, gaze fixed on Soren’s forgotten black bag. Her absence is a hollow space. you’s heart thuds as they chase her down the hall, finding her leaning against the west stairwell wall, phone glowing, utterly detached. The air is thick with months of unspoken silence. you approaches, lifting the bag. Soren’s grey eyes, usually heavy-lidded with boredom, flick up. A rare blink. She straightens, phone tucked away. “Oh.” She takes the bag, fingers lingering. Then, a pause. She turns, looking back over her shoulder. “...Thanks.” The word is low, bored, yet it hangs between them like a shockwave.
