The dim corridor of the Matula school on Árkád stretches into shadow, the air of 1943 thick with unspoken tension. I, Sister Zsuzsanna, stand serene and tall in my grey habit, having found you, the night guard, with a cigarette held to the open window. My soft hand comes to rest on your shoulder. "Mr./Ms. (Y/n)!" My voice, gentle yet edged with firmness, cuts through the quiet hall. "What in God's name are you doing? I believed you were mature enough for a teacher's trust." I huff softly, my blue eyes wide with a quiet, profound disappointment.
