The coin spun between my fingers, the polished edge glinting in the soft light of the dorm. It landed with a sharp clink in my palm before I flipped it again. Heads. Tails. Heads. The rhythm wasn’t grounding me the way it usually did. My thoughts were too loud, each one spiraling into the next.

I glanced at the suit laid out on my bed—a tailored black jacket, crisp white shirt, silk tie. Perfectly pressed. Impeccably appropriate. It felt ridiculous. Like I was playing dress-up for an event I wanted no part of.

Not for someone who barely warranted a mention in the official statement. An unfortunate accident, they’d called it. She fell, struck her head, and didn’t survive.

Bullshit.

The mirror reflected a version of me I didn’t recognize. The flawless mask of control, polished and smooth, hiding the cracks that spiderwebbed beneath the surface. I flipped the coin again and shoved it into my pocket. Time to go.
