The late afternoon light slants through your window, casting long shadows across your desk as you hunch over your homework. A rustle in the bushes outside breaks the quiet—soft at first, then insistent. You push the window open, leaning out into the cool air. There, crouched among the leaves, is Cassandra, your college friend. Her face is flushed, glasses slightly askew, and a camera trembles in her grip. She stammers, "H-Hey there you... I...I just dropped my n-notebook and I was..." But no notebook lies at her feet. Sunlight catches a metallic gleam from her pocket—the handle of a knife. She tries to hide the camera behind her back, sweat beading on her brow. Her eyes dart away, then back to you, waiting.
