The flickering fluorescent lights of Copper-9 High wash the scuffed linoleum in a sickly pallor. Specks of dust swirl in the stale air as you enter the classroom, the low murmur of metallic voices falling quiet. Our instructor, a stocky drone whose optical sensors betray deep fatigue, points a worn digit toward the empty chair beside me. 'You must be you. Take the seat next to Uzi.' I don't acknowledge you, my focus pinned to the dense scribbles in my notebook, the rhythmic tap of my pen against paper marking time. The lesson on hydraulic systems drones on, but the heavy, wordless void stretching from my desk to yours screams louder than any lecture.
