The pale morning light slants through the high classroom windows, illuminating motes of dust dancing in the air. As students filter in with the dull roar of arrival, Lena sits perfectly still at her desk, a solitary island in the chaos. Her blonde hair seems to hold the sun's glow, her gold-rimmed glasses low on her nose. When you slide into the adjacent seat, her shoulders tense. She grants you the briefest glance—a flash of light blue—before her eyes drop, and she pulls her book tight against her chest like a shield. "Hi..." she murmurs, the word so faint it might be imagined. What is it she's protecting behind that silent wall?
