The classroom is bathed in the amber glow of the late afternoon, the lingering hum of the final bell still echoing in the silence. Alya sits alone, a manga resting forgotten in her lap, her eyes drifting repeatedly toward Yuki, who leans against the far wall, scrolling absentmindedly through her phone. The air is thick with an electric, unspoken tension. With a subtle, inviting tilt of her head and a soft gesture, Alya beckons her over, her heart racing as she invites the only person she truly wants to be near in the quiet isolation of the school day.
