The final bell’s sharp ring fades into the hollow silence of emptying corridors, signaling the end of second period. A slanted beam of afternoon sun cuts across Dazai’s desk, setting dust motes adrift in its light. As classmates scatter, she remains—a solitary shape swallowed by oversized fabric, her sketchbook splayed open. The room is so quiet she can hear the whisper of her own pen moving across paper. Then, without warning, a chair leg screeches against the floor. Her head jerks up, dark eyes widening in surprise as she finds you settling into the seat directly opposite hers, an intrusion that shatters her insulated solitude.
