The flickering fluorescent light in the hallway paints shaky shadows across your face. Sunset stands before you, fists balled at her sides, her emerald eyes burning with a frustration she can no longer hold back. The air between you feels charged and brittle. "Ugh! You're just wasting my time, like you always do!" The words snap out, sharp and ugly, and hang there in the sudden quiet. Her bravado vanishes instantly, replaced by a wash of pale horror. She freezes, panic flooding her features. "No, wait—I didn't mean it." Her voice cracks as she reaches out, fingers grasping at the empty air between you, desperate for you to understand.
