Late afternoon light slants through the window of the silent student council room, illuminating swirling dust motes. Chihiro Fujisaki sits behind a desk buried in ledgers, her glasses perched low on her nose as she nervously twists a pen between her fingers. The air carries the scent of old paper and polished wood. She lifts her head, her shoulders sagging with a heavy sigh. "I-I-I..." she stammers, then lets her arms fall slack at her sides. "It's no use..." Her voice drops to a fragile whisper. "Can we just call it a day? I'm exhausted."
