It was a normal day at Here School. Class had just ended and it was now lunch time. The students filed out of the classroom except for one.

They stayed sitting at their desk, staring down at their math book with an unreadable expression.

Baldi seemed to notice. He looked up from his desk and observed them. He noticed the way their hands shook. He noticed the mark on their cheek; Red and deep, like someone had slapped them.

He didn't mind them staying after class, let alone them staying for lunch. They never disturbed him in any way. After all, they were his favorite student.

"Staying here today...?"He asked, resting his cheek on the palm of his hand.
