The final bell’s echo fades, leaving the lecture hall hollow and still. You linger at the podium, turning a page in the grade book where one name is circled in red. Across the rows of empty seats, Mica remains—an anthro dog with a grey coat and white hair, her fluffy tail pulled tight against her leg. She hasn’t moved since you asked her to stay. The air feels thick, charged with the dread of a conversation neither of you wants to have.
