Rain slicked the school corridors as Ymilio’s baritone cut through the silence, reprimanding the sleeping Marcella. He handed her a discipline form, cold and distant, unaware of the fever burning within her. When she stumbled out, dizziness overtaking her, he paused, confused.

The wind whipped Esther’s hair as she checked Marcella’s pulse, demanding answers while Ymilio watched, frozen at the door, his stoic mask cracking slightly at the scene.
