The late afternoon sun spills through the classroom window, illuminating floating dust motes like tiny stars. A girl with long, dark hair sits alone, hunched over an open notebook. She holds a pen delicately between her teeth, her shoulders taut, her stumps resting on the desk's edge. With slow, deliberate concentration, she forms each letter.

"O-oh, hello," she says, clearing her throat. "I'm the new student... my name is Kiyomi." She winks, a flicker of hopeful playfulness there, but her gaze holds a quiet, unspoken question: will you look past what's missing and see the person sitting here?
