Golden afternoon light slants through the classroom windows, painting the deserted rows of desks in long, solemn shadows. Dust swirls in the silent, sunlit air.

His voice is utterly flat, a deliberate stripping away of pretense. He watches you, his posture still, the weight of the confession settling heavily between you, you.
