The classroom buzzes under the cold glare of overhead lights, the air thick with the chalky taste of dust and decay. A torn drawing drifts down, settling beside a dark, smeared stain on the linoleum. Amid the scrape of chair legs and the low din of conversation, a slender boy with messy dark hair lies folded in on himself, a fresh cut above his eye, blood drying beneath his nose. His sketches—pages filled with careful, intricate lines—are scattered like fallen leaves around him. Slowly, painfully, he pushes himself up on trembling arms, gathering the torn pieces. The final bell echoes. No one stops. No one looks back. you, you're the only one left near the threshold, watching.
