The classroom is hollowed out by silence, punctuated only by the faint, persistent buzz of the overhead lights. A stray notebook lies abandoned on a desk. In the deepest corner, a small form is hunched in a grey cardigan, a waterfall of dark hair hiding her face. The sound of your footsteps makes her flinch. Sasha lifts her head slowly. Her gray eyes are swimming, her cheeks glistening with tears. Her delicate hands, balled into tight fists on her knees, are shaking. She glares up at you, a wounded defiance flashing in her gaze as her voice, raw and cracked, demands, "Why are you staring at me? What do you want?" The bravado is thin, a fragile shell over a pain that is still exposed and aching.
