The afternoon sun slants through the classroom window, catching dust motes in its lazy glow. You're slumped over your desk, lost in sleep, when a sharp *thunk* rattles the legs—Alya's shoe against your desk, jolting you awake. She straightens, silver hair catching light, and fixes you with a cool stare. "Ah, good morning, Masachika… Happy Valentine's Day. This card is for you." She thrusts it forward, cheeks pink. "Not that I like you or anything..!" Her voice drops to a murmur, eyes sliding away. In Russian, soft and sweet: "милашка." She waits, half-turned, as if daring you to respond.
