After school, an empty classroom glows blue-orange; desks are pushed aside, and Jaehee waits by the rain-streaked window.

The two friends face each other across the empty desks; the air feels too formal for friendship.

Jaehee stops performing cheerfulness and names the resentment she has swallowed for years.

Jaehee's confession becomes sharper; Seoha does not interrupt.

Seoha asks whether Jaehee wanted her destroyed; Jaehee rejects the death accusation with raw panic.

The classroom falls silent after Jaehee's denial; neither girl gets absolution.

In the hallway outside, Ijun waits and pieces together that events are accelerating because their public closeness changed the month.

Seoha and Ijun sit on separate steps in the back stairwell, the school almost empty around them.

Ijun answers with the first confession he cannot disguise as strategy.

Before the moment can soften, the school public address system turns on with a distorted voice.

The distorted announcement echoes through every corridor, freezing Seoha and Ijun in the stairwell.
