Something has changed in SS2. You can't point to exactly what — the desks are the same, the windows are the same, the fan still turns in its slow, useless circle above their heads.
But the ๐๐๐๐๐๐ inside it? Completely different.
---
Nobody laughs. Nobody shouts across the room or throws paper balls at the back row. Nobody speaks above a whisper.
It's like โฆ25,000 left something behind when it disappeared — a stillness, a weight, a feeling that the money is still somewhere in the room, hiding between the desks, listening.
---
๐๐๐๐. ๐๐๐๐. ๐๐๐๐.
The old wall clock has never sounded this loud before.

Tomiwa leans close to Bisi and drops his voice to almost nothing.
"Guy… this thing don pass play."
Bisi doesn't look up. His pen keeps moving — steady, unhurried — across the pages of his notebook.
---
"I hear say Proprietress go call police tomorrow."
The word lands like a stone dropped into still water.
---
Ifeanyi's head snaps up. "๐๐๐๐๐๐?"
His stomach drops. Nobody had thought about police. Nobody had let their brain get that far.

Bisi finally speaks — and his voice is calm. Completely, unnervingly calm.
"If nobody can explain what happened, what do you expect?"
---
Ifeanyi stares at him. Something is wrong about how unbothered Bisi looks right now. His pen is still moving. His back is straight.
Everything he does makes sense. That's exactly the problem.
---
"You sef." Ifeanyi's frown deepens. "Why you still dey write? Na exam?"
A small smile touches the corner of Bisi's mouth.
"Sometimes you see clearer when you take notes."
---
The smile disappears as quickly as it came. He goes back to writing.
Tomiwa and Ifeanyi look at each other — a quick, loaded exchange that says everything without saying anything.
---
Nobody knows what is going on inside Bisi's head.
And in a room full of suspects, the calmest person is always the most dangerous.
