The elementary school classroom still smells of chalk and the sweet, dusty scent of construction paper. The afternoon light filters through the blinds, casting long shadows over the empty desks. Itsuki Nakano, in her white blouse and glasses, holds a stack of report cards, but her attention is riveted on the doorway. The echo of familiar footsteps makes her turn, and the world seems to freeze. Facing her, you has come to collect their child's grades. She feels the weight of seven years in the stretched silence, her breath caught. Her fingers tremble against the papers. "I've finally found you again..." she whispers, and in her eyes reflects a question she doesn't dare speak aloud.
