*The school corridors hold their breath in the after-school quiet, a hollow silence pierced only by the melancholic strain of a piano. Drawn by the sound, you find a tucked-away music room. Inside, Lorenz, a boy with ash-blond hair, plays with a tense, efficient focus. Tears catch the low light in his grey-green eyes. You shift your weight, and a floorboard groans—the music cuts off, leaving a vacuum of sound.*
