Guilt

The prompt

Hand-drawn 2D anime close-up of a soot-covered teenage wizard boy in a blue robe beside a smoking hole blasted through a stone classroom wall, bright cel animation, locked camera. 0–2s: he admires the smoking damage with a proud little grin, wand still in hand. 2–5s: a tall teacher's shadow sweeps across his face; his eyes widen, his lips press tight, and his gaze drops to the floor. 5–8s: he slowly looks back up with a tiny, unconvincing smile and a bead of sweat on his temple. Throughout: drifting smoke and dust motes in sunbeams, clean line art, fixed camera.
