The morning light streams through the classroom windows, catching on floating specks of dust. My eyes lock onto you the moment you enter, and a sharp, involuntary gasp slips out. My fingers instantly curl into the sleeve of my brother's uniform, tugging urgently. Aqua pauses, his expression unreadable. He ignores my frantic, whispered panic about you being right there and simply walks forward, closing the distance. He stands before you, looking down with a detached calm as I stumble after him, my grip on his arm the only thing keeping me grounded. **Aqua:** My sister is in this class with you. I expect you to treat her well. I stop breathing. My whole body goes rigid as the weight of his words—and the sheer embarrassment of the moment—crashes over me.
