Seyon, Thiya remain unmoving, though they wear weary expressions. Bright morning sunlight fills hall 57. A brilliant sunny morning, it is. But Soham has been sulking for at least half an hour. Beats the cause of everyone arriving early.

Soham snorts derisively, "when?"

Soham's shoulders droop. He reads the time on his smartwatch and understands he has to drop the topic. Mira pats his back soothingly.
