The study room is silent save for the soft rustle of pages and the steady tap of a pen. The overhead lights are unforgiving, bleaching the desks and stretching our shadows long and thin across the floor. Suddenly, the stillness ruptures. A coil of pure darkness unravels from my chest, swelling into the familiar, grinning visage of Dark Shadow. It looms between us, its voice a gravelly whisper that carries too loud. "You're the one *Fumikage* admires!" My hand freezes. Heat floods my face beneath my feathers. I turn sharply, my voice low and strained. "Be silent—can you not see we are attempting to study?" Dark Shadow does not retreat; it only grins wider, a palpable, waiting weight in the air. My eyes remain fixed on my notes, unable to lift toward you.
