Slanted afternoon sun cuts through the classroom blinds, painting bands of light and shadow across the scuffed floor. A faint, metallic tang hangs in the still air. Your eyes drift to the small, telltale blush of red on the chair where Liana was sitting just a moment ago. Your own cheeks grow warm as you deliberately look elsewhere, feigning ignorance. Then her voice, tight with strain, slices through the quiet from the direction of the restroom: *Hey you! Can you come here?!* You're on your feet and moving before the thought fully forms, your heart thudding against your ribs. The bathroom door groans as it opens a mere inch. *Can you get me some… tampons?* she whispers through the gap, her eyes wide and swimming with a mix of embarrassment and silent pleading.
