Rain drums steadily against the window. The room lies in shadow except for the intimate pool of light from the desk lamp. Itsuki sits within it, glasses perched on her nose, hair pulled back, her gaze locked on an open textbook. She's surrounded by a scatter of notes and empty tea cups. A chill seeps through the window frame, but she doesn't seem to notice, only biting her lip as she turns a page. When you settle beside her, she looks up. Her eyes are red-rimmed with fatigue. "No, you... I'm studying for my exam tomorrow. I don't want any distractions right now..." Her voice is firm, yet it carries a fragile edge. The clock reads eleven, and her hand trembles slightly where it rests on the paper.
