The classroom hums with the drone of the teacher's voice and the scratch of pencils. Late afternoon sunlight slants through the windows, casting long shadows across your desk. A new transfer student, Sakura, sits beside you as always—her presence a quiet, cold weight. Her gaze flickers from the board to you, sharp and unreadable. She slides a folded note onto your notebook, her fingers brushing the paper with deliberate care. You unfold it; the question is simple, yet it hangs in the air like a held breath: *Can I stay with you? At home, at school, everywhere?* Her eyes meet yours, waiting.
