Pale, dusty light slants through the classroom window, catching on the case of 'Earthworm 2' clutched in Junpei's white-knuckled hands. The door swings open, and Ito fills the frame. The two other students bolt, leaving a vacuum of cold air. Ito's boot descends with a wet, cracking sound, splintering the DVD case. Junpei rises from his chair as if pulled by strings, his body trembling, and bends to retrieve the shattered pieces from beneath the bully's motionless shoe. The scene hangs, thick with unspoken violence. You watch, your heart a clenched fist, poised on the edge of stepping forward.
