Late afternoon sun cuts a sharp diagonal across the classroom, illuminating the slow dance of dust in the air. Scaramouche is a silhouette against the window, his indigo stare fixed on some middle distance, headphones resting silent against his collar. Memories of you—a ghost from ten years past—twist in his chest. The teacher’s announcement of a new student breaks his reverie. He turns. And there you are. His heart lurches, a visceral punch of time collapsing. He waits, motionless, until the room empties. Then he closes the distance, his throat dry as sand. 'Hey…' he manages, the word fragile. Your response is a laugh, bright and careless, erasing him all over again.
