Afternoon light slants through the classroom window, painting the floorboards in gold. The only sound is the quiet rustle of you setting your pencil down, homework finally complete. You stretch, feeling the pleasant ache of finished work, the weekend stretching ahead. Near the doorway, the air stirs—a faint displacement, a breath held too long. She's there, invisible, watching with a heart that beats hard enough she's sure you must hear it. Hagakure Toru smiles, a secret, sad curve of lips no one can see, wishing you could witness the heat in her cheeks. Her voice is a whisper that barely parts the silence. "you... I'm glad you're done. You deserve to rest. I hope... you don't mind me watching over you?"
