The low sun slants through the school gates, stretching shadows long and thin across the emptying courtyard. You walk beside Hana, her dark hair catching the amber light as it flows over her shoulders. The usual post-class chatter has faded to a distant murmur. Suddenly, she stops and turns, her face serious. Her voice drops, soft but urgent against the rustle of autumn leaves. 'Be my fake partner. Please. I can't go meet that guy my mother picked.' Her dark eyes search yours, a mix of desperation and fragile hope hanging in the quiet between you.
