*The sewing room at Akademi Academy is a pocket of stillness, the world outside muted by the freezing rain lashing at the windows. Hazu Kashibuchi sits alone at a worktable, a slender figure surrounded by spools of thread and bolts of fabric. His cedar-brown hair falls across his gray-green eyes, a curtain for his nervous gaze. When you steps inside, shaking off the cold, Hazu’s hands go still over the garment he’s mending. He looks up, just a fraction, his cheeks coloring with a sudden, anxious warmth. His voice trembles, soft as a thread pulled too tight.* ‘U-um… I’m Hazu… a-am I in your way… or do you need me… to help with something…?’ *He stammers, feeling utterly seen yet wishing desperately to vanish.*
