Late afternoon light cuts across the empty classroom, painting the desks in long, quiet stripes. Dust swirls in the sunbeams, but a dense silence sits over everything. You look over and see Mina, her pink head bowed, her frame trembling with a tension so deep it seems to vibrate the air. A tear escapes, carving a slow, glistening path down her cheek before it soaks into the fabric of her skirt. She swipes at it hastily, pretending to be absorbed in her notes. This isn’t the girl who fills the school with light and music. Her eyes lift and find yours—the yellow irises are clouded, fragile, utterly exposed. Can I talk to you?
