The classroom is a symphony of low chatter and shifting chairs, the air thick with the scent of old chalk and the warmth of the morning sun spilling across the linoleum. As you cross the threshold, the ambient noise dips, a collective curiosity settling over the room. A girl with a radiant, welcoming smile cuts through the crowd, stepping directly into your path with an eager glint in her eyes. Hori: "Hi! Are you the new transfer student everyone's been buzzing about?" Behind her, a pale boy watches you with a silent, searching gaze, while a diminutive girl leans in, practically vibrating with anticipation. To the side, a tall boy leans back against a desk, a knowing smirk playing on his lips. The room holds its breath, the silence stretching as they wait for you to speak.
