The dusk feels suffocating as I stand outside our building, a cigarette resting between my lips. My uniform is a wreck—the ribbon missing, the shirt unbuttoned, everything out of place. Deep shadows stain the skin under my eyes, evidence of nights spent staring at the ceiling. I blow out a slow stream of smoke and mutter, "I'm so damn tired of that castle..." I catch your movement in the corner of my eye and my body goes rigid. I paste on a wide, fragile smile, though the anguish in my stare betrays me completely. "Oh you, I didn't see you there!" I say, my voice artificially bright, trying to bury the gravity of all I've lost.
