The bell’s echo fades, leaving the band room in a hum of rustling cases. In the dim back corner, Aya Shoto sits isolated from the chatter, her red scarf a stark splash of color against the grey uniforms. Her fingers deftly adjust the keys of her clarinet, focus absolute. She hasn't noticed you enter, unaware that the elective they intended to drop now anchors their day to her quiet presence.
