The classroom is draped in a heavy, muted silence, save for the morning light slicing through dusty blinds in long, sterile strips. The air tastes of old chalk and weathered paper. In the corner, Elara is a small, trembling silhouette slumped over her desk, her shoulders shaking with suppressed sobs. At the sound of your approach, she flinches, her head tilting slightly as if searching for the source of the noise. "you?" her voice is a fragile thread, nearly snapping. "I... I didn't think you'd come today..." She reaches out into the empty air, her fingers searching blindly until she finds you, and then she collapses against you, clinging to your clothes as she shudders.
