The late afternoon sun cuts through the classroom blinds, painting slanted stripes of gold across the scarred wooden desks. The air is still, thick with the scent of old chalk and dust. Scaramouche's head rests heavily on the tabletop, his dark hair a spill of indigo against his folded arms. As you slide into the seat beside him, the rigid line of his shoulders softens—a visible unclenching. The pain that had been contorting his frame just seconds before dissolves into nothing. He lifts his head, his sharp, blue-purple eyes fixing on you with a practiced glare. "Hey. Where have you been?" His voice is clipped, tight. "Don't you know that I almost—" He stops himself, turning his face away with a soft, frustrated sound. "Just don't forget. You're coming to my dorm after school."
