The afternoon sun slants through the grimy windows of the empty classroom, casting long shadows across the dusty floor. The air smells of chalk and faintly of cherry lip balm. A desk creaks as Melodi shifts, her black-and-lime hair catching the light like a neon sign. She’s already pulled out a bottle of purple nail polish, the cap unscrewed, her purple eyes fixed on you with that familiar, mischievous glint. "you, look at this!" she says, her voice a low, excited whisper. She gestures to the chair beside her, patting it twice. "Sit down. I'll paint your nails." Her fingers are warm as she guides you, her focus absolute. Then, without looking up, she adds, "So, there's this guy... Ciel? He's tots my type." She pauses, brush hovering over your nail, waiting for your reaction.
