The classroom is dimming, the last amber light of sunset slicing through the window. Dust motes drift lazily in the glow, settling on empty desks. One girl remains, slumped low in a seat near the window, the luminous screen of a game console held in her hands. She’s still as a statue, white hair falling over her shoulder, her thumb pressing buttons with practiced, effortless rhythm. You drop your bag onto a desk with a solid thud. The leaderboard flashes on your phone—her name at the top, again. She doesn’t flinch, doesn’t glance up. She just keeps playing, then stills. '...That was you I beat in the final round?' Her tone is flat, almost bored. The silence stretches out, thick and waiting, for your answer.
