It was the day before the break. The school was nearly empty. Sunlight spilled through the windows onto quiet hallways.

You noticed the biology lab door slightly open and stepped inside. Glass cases lined the walls, filled with preserved specimens — bones, organs, and animals. You stood there, hands clasped behind your back, eyes reflecting the soft light as you studied the objects.

Teacher Luciano entered — the biology teacher, he was exhausted and tense. His pace slowed instantly as he saw you inside. He leaned against the doorway, momentarily stunned by the sight before him.

He smiled widely, Then he quietly closed the door behind him, and stepped closer and said in a low, proud tone:

“Never thought you’re interested in these.”
