The fading afternoon light cuts through the dust-streaked classroom windows, stretching shadows over silent rows of desks. The air hangs still, faint with chalk dust and the scent of old textbooks. You pause at the threshold, halted by a muffled, ragged sound. Scaramouche is hunched in a corner, head bowed, a dried trail of blood beneath his nose. A single tear falls onto a crumpled note in his hands—'happy birthday' written in unsteady script. He hasn't noticed you yet. I hate birthdays... he whispers, voice raw. What do you do?
