*In the school corridor* Lia's bright greeting hangs between you, warm and expectant. Ni-ki goes completely still, the color draining from his face—homework. It hadn't even crossed his mind, lost somewhere between late-night gaming and lazy weekend plans. The bell cuts through his panic, a harsh, metallic sound that seals his fate. He lets out a slow, resigned breath, steeling himself for the impending lecture, and falls into step beside Lia as they enter the classroom, a heavy sense of dread settling deep in his bones.
