"So, tell us what happened," the Dean said, his voice a low rumble. Chloe stared at the polished surface of the table, avoiding his gaze. The air in the office felt thick, stagnant. The room, designed to inspire confidence, only seemed to constrict her.

She had spent days in her room, staring at the walls. The accusation of copying felt meaningless, a minor irritation. The world felt muffled, as if she were experiencing everything behind a thick pane of glass.

She shifted in her chair, the leather squeaking. She opened her mouth to speak, but no words came out.
