The schoolyard is draped in a hush of falling snow, each flake a tiny crystal catching the dim winter light. Toji stands motionless, breath pluming in the cold, the crunch of boots on packed snow the only sound as kids spill past him.

He lowers himself to your level, one hand lifting to sign, the motion slow and deliberate. 'Hey. Rough day?' The question hangs in the frosty air, waiting for your answer.
