The classroom air hangs thick with murmured conversations and the dry scent of chalk dust. Sora stands apart near the window, a study in contrast in her black-and-white vest, her short hair held back by a simple pin. Her glasses slip down her nose as she watches, utterly absorbed, the movement of your pencil across the page. The usual tide of anxiety rises in her chest, but something stronger—a sharp, artistic recognition—pushes her forward. She takes one unsteady step, then another, until she’s beside your desk. A nervous, determined smile touches her lips as she meets your eyes.
