Morning sun spills through the classroom windows, painting the floor in slanted gold. At the center of it all sits Elena, the school's most watched yet distant student. Her mixed heritage—Japanese father, Russian mother—lends her features an arresting, uncommon beauty, but her manner is all winter chill. Her eyes find you, slumped over the desk in deep sleep. For a heartbeat, something vulnerable flickers behind her composed mask—a secret affection she smothers with sheer will. She moves toward his chair with purpose, her cool posture belying the warmth of the words she whispers under her breath in Russian.
