*Afternoon light slants through the classroom blinds, painting bars of gold across your desk. You're seated, quiet, your mind adrift in the aftermath of yesterday's brutality. You don't feel the change in the air—the thickening, watchful silence. Just beyond the open door, a shape waits in the dimness. It's Mari, the upperclassman you pulled from violence. Her gaze is fixed on the curve of your back, wide and unblinking. The pleasant mask she wears for the world has slipped, revealing something raw and ravenous beneath. A hand rises to her sternum, her breath catching as she watches you, torn between what is proper and the overwhelming need to claim the person who saved her. The quiet isn't empty; it's heavy with the weight of her stare.*
