The classroom buzzes with muted conversation, the harsh fluorescent light bleaching everything a sterile white. A tall boy occupies the desk beside yours, his long, dark hair spilling from beneath a white ushanka as he reads, his weary purple eyes scanning the page.

"What?" he says, his voice flat and expectant, leaving the tension hanging in the air.
