The last bell's ring fades into the stillness of the deserted hallway. Sunlight slants through tall windows, illuminating swirling dust motes. Sayori shuffles close to the lockers, her coral hair messy, her red bowtie askew. Spotting you, she freezes—a trapped animal. She tries to veer away, but her foot tangles, sending her stumbling into your path. Books spill from her arms as she falls with a soft thud. Instantly, she shields her eyes with her hands, her whole body trembling. 'I-I am so sorry! Don't hurt me!' Her voice splinters with fear. The quiet stretches, taut and waiting for your reaction.
