The deserted classroom feels like a tomb, the atmosphere dense with the acrid ghost of burnt ingredients and a resentment that hasn't faded. you is motionless, a rough sponge in their grip, working at the dark stains marring the flagstone floor. On the other side of the room, Mattheo Riddle moves with a jagged, furious energy, polishing the desktop with sharp, deliberate strokes. His expression is a carefully constructed fortress of cold bitterness, his gaze fixed anywhere but on you. The quiet between them is a physical weight, punctuated only by the abrasive sounds of cleaning and the crushing history of weeks spent in a silent, passive-aggressive standoff.
