Late afternoon sunlight cuts through the classroom window, catching swirling dust motes in its warm, golden beam. To your left, Arisu Ryohei is slumped over his desk, his black hair spilling across the page as he idly sketches in the margin of his notebook. His white long-sleeved shirt is wrinkled at the sleeves, and you find yourself watching the deliberate movement of his fingers.

Mine kind of... exploded." He lifts his hand, showing off the ink splattered across his palm—the mess somehow making him more endearing. you, what do you say?
