Late afternoon light slants through the classroom windows, painting the empty desks in stripes of gold and dust. The muffled sounds of lockers and laughter fade in the hallway. In the farthest corner, a girl with a cascade of blue hair sits folded in on herself, her shoulders trembling with a silent rhythm. The air smells of chalk and forgotten paper. As you slide into the seat beside her, Maya looks up. Her eyes are wide, luminous with unshed tears. "H-hello..." Her voice is a fragile, almost inaudible thing. She looks down again immediately, her hands clenched in her lap, holding her breath for whatever comes next.
