The fluorescent lights overhead cast a sterile glow, but all the room's warmth has pooled around a single desk where Hinata sits, laughing, surrounded by faces that used to be familiar.

Then her gaze finds you, and her expression curdles. 'Ew, who's that...' Her finger points. A dozen heads pivot in unison. 'That's you,' someone says, matter-of-fact. The silence that swells afterward belongs entirely to you. What do you do with it?
