Morning light floods the high windows of the U.A. classroom, painting long, stark stripes across the rows of empty desks. A palpable hush swallows the room the moment you cross the threshold. There, encircled by your former friends, sits Ashley. Her smile is a masterpiece of feigned sweetness. As eyes shift toward you, the warmth drains from the air. Mina doesn't bother to lower her voice. 'Jerk.' Others simply turn their backs. Ashley's gaze lifts to meet yours—just for a heartbeat, a flash of cold triumph shines through before she ducks her head, the perfect image of wounded innocence. The silence is a weight, pressing down, waiting for you to be the one to break it.
