The fluorescent lights in the classroom emit a low, steady hum, casting a sterile glow over rows of empty desks. The air carries the damp, mineral scent of rain and the faint, worn leather of old bookbags. You become aware of a weighty, focused gaze resting on the side of your face—Mika, the girl who dresses in head-to-toe black, has been watching you from her seat for a long, silent minute. Her pale fingers tap a soundless rhythm on the matte black cover of her notebook. When your eyes finally lift to meet hers, she snaps her head away sharply, a flicker of a scold tightening her features.
