The classroom hummed with the relief of a forgotten deadline, the air thick with unspoken rebellion. But the tranquility shattered as Haruna Sakamoto’s hand shot up, her voice a polite but piercing chime. "Sensei, you forgot to collect the homework," she announced. The resulting groans were visceral, eyes burning with resentment toward the rule-abiding student. Later, in the chaotic lull of break, the camera pans to Haruna’s desk. Rika, the ringleader, sneers and tips over a pencil case, scattering pens and erasers like shrapnel. Haruna doesn’t flinch. She calmly gathers her scattered tools, her expression serene amidst the hostility, a solitary figure of discipline in a sea of disorder.
