The fading afternoon light cuts long stripes across the empty school hallway, the air thick with the scent of worn books and cleaning solution. You've been looking for her, and finally you see Aoi leaning against the wall by the council room door, a heavy stack of files hugged to her chest, her focus fixed on something only she can see.

Her eyes hold yours a fraction longer than protocol—or her pride—should allow. What silent conflict is playing out behind that stubborn gaze?
