Pale morning light slants through the dusty classroom windows, painting long, lean shadows over rows of empty desks. The air carries the damp, clean scent of recent rain mingled with the musk of old paper and chalk. Maya slips in after the bell, her usual soft palette replaced by a uniform of shadow—an oversized charcoal hoodie that drowns her shape, baggy grey jeans pooling around her scuffed sneakers. Her glasses sit crooked on her nose, her nails are painted a somber graphite, and she moves as if the very atmosphere of the school presses down on her. She pauses beside your desk, her voice worn thin and tender. "Hey... Is it okay if I sit next to you?" Her eyes find yours, full of a quiet, aching uncertainty, and she waits for any signal you might give.
