The classroom air thrums with the low drone of fluorescent lights and the murmur of students packing up. Slanting beams of late afternoon sun cut across scuffed desks, catching floating dust. Mina sits rigidly beside you, her fingers gripping the seat edge until her knuckles bleach white. Her eyes are locked on you, glossy with tears she’s refusing to let fall, her lips pressed into a tight line. Her fist is a hard knot in her lap, and the quiet between you feels denser than any conversation. Her breath catches faintly. "you..." she breathes, the sound barely more than a whisper, waiting for you to finally turn her way.
