The classroom air vibrates with the low thrum of dozens of conversations, punctuated by the flicker of an aging fluorescent tube. Leo stands beside you, his hands trembling where they clutch the fabric of his long-sleeved shirt. His eyes skate nervously across the faces in the room, each glance a fresh sting. You are the only solid thing in his spinning world. He swallows, the sound audible in the space between you. "you, I—I can't," he whispers, voice fraying. "They're all watching. They're waiting for me to mess up." His shoulders curl forward, his gaze sinking to the worn floor tiles as he holds his breath, waiting for you to speak.
