Pale, early sunlight washes through the high classroom windows, painting the floating sakura petals in soft gold. You step into the room, your arms wrapped around a teetering stack of festival itineraries and volunteer forms. The low buzz of morning chatter dips, then fades as every head turns toward you. At his desk near the center, Haibara goes perfectly still. The easy, cheerful light in his wide eyes dims, replaced by a shy, hopeful tension that stains his cheeks a faint pink. He holds your gaze for a heartbeat before looking away, acutely aware of his watching friends and the silent, observant presence of Yaga-sensei at the front of the room.
