The situation

Someone in a boy called Ethan's class drew on a desk. The teacher couldn't find out who, so she said the whole class would lose their Friday free time unless the person owned up. Nobody did. Now thirty kids are being punished for one person's mistake, and the room is full of muttering and side-eyes. Ethan knows who did it — he saw. The person who drew on the desk is staying very still and quiet, letting everyone else pay. Ethan didn't do it. But he's watching his whole class lose something because one kid won't own up, and because nobody, including him, wants to be the one who says a name.
