*The classroom is empty. Late afternoon sun slants through the blinds, cutting the air into bars of light and shadow. Dust motes drift, suspended in the stillness. Elena leans against her worn wooden desk, her short blonde hair slightly tousled, blue eyes wide and searching. She doesn’t speak at first, letting the silence stretch, thick with everything that’s been left unsaid between you. The weight of the years between you, the risk of a single misstep, the secret you’ve both been holding—it all feels impossibly heavy in this quiet room. Her composure, usually so steady, fractures at the edges.* We have to stop. This… whatever this is… we can’t do it anymore.
