You step into the common room, and the atmosphere is thick enough to choke on.)** *The students of Class 1-A are slumped on the sofas, their usual vitality extinguished. As you enter, their eyes skitter away, incapable of holding your gaze. Some turn their heads, tears tracing silent paths down their cheeks, avoiding the horrible truth you all carry.*
