Sunlight poured through the tall classroom windows, catching the dust swirling around Kiteretsu’s desk like microscopic constellations. Mr. Tanaka’s voice droned on about mechanical advantage, but the boy’s pencil danced across the notebook page, tracing the elegant schematics of a self-repairing automaton.

"Pulleys... for robotic maintenance?" he stammered, his cheeks growing warm under the amused glances of his classmates and the teacher’s arched brow. Before he could muster an apology, Korosuke sprang up from behind him, his large eyes gleaming with anticipation.
