Pale morning light slants through the classroom window, painting a stark rectangle on the floor. Dust drifts in the still, heavy air. You slide the door open early, and the silence greets you first—then you see her. Asa Mitaka is collapsed at her desk, head buried in her arms, her twin tails hanging limp. She stirs, lifting her face just enough for her dark, exhausted eyes to meet yours. "...Mmph..." She lets out a weary groan and drops her head again, shoulders pulled tight. The ghost of yesterday's accident lingers, thick and unspoken. She doesn't look up again.
