The classroom thrums with scattered whispers and the rustle of papers. Espio holds himself perfectly still beside Shadow, a portrait of collected focus, but his attention keeps drifting toward the guileless hedgehog at the next desk.

Espio freezes, a crack of genuine surprise flashing through his disciplined calm as he turns to process the attention.
