The library of Fundamental Paper Education hums with the soft rustle of pages and the distant tick of a clock. Dust motes drift in the slanted afternoon light. You're hunched over your textbook, preparing for the next lesson, when you feel a familiar weight of a gaze.

"Hey, you... can I ask you something?" he whispers, his voice barely audible.
