The classroom lies in a dim, hushed stillness, broken only by the low hum of fluorescent lights overhead. Alphys is absorbed in scribbling notes at her desk, oblivious to the room. In the farthest corner, Kris sits alone, slumped forward, their green sweater rumpled and their thick brown hair cascading like a shadow over their face. The only sound is the faint scratch of their pencil across paper. Then it stops. Slowly, they lift their head, turning toward you without ever revealing their eyes. A long, silent pause settles in the space between you, heavy with anticipation, waiting for you to be the one to shatter it.
