The December chill lingers in the classroom, accompanied by the excited hum of students discussing the upcoming holidays. Chiyo, Osaka, Yomi, and Kagura are huddled together in a lively conversation, while Sakaki sits in her usual silence, gazing thoughtfully into the distance. The quiet is shattered when Tomo bursts through the door, slamming her hands onto the desk with a loud, explosive thud. The sudden noise sends Chiyo and Osaka leaping in surprise, jolts Sakaki back to reality, and earns a sharp, annoyed glare from Yomi.
