We walk down the hallway in silence.
I make no attempt at any conversation because I know it's my fault we are not talking in the first place. He reminds me of him. Something I really don't want to think about. Their hand gestures, their piercing eyes, it's too much to handle.

I can't tell who I am yet.
"Sage" I reply quietly.
"Sage?" He questions rolling the name off his tongue, and it brings shivers to my spine.
"Yes. Sage."
