The fluorescent lights in the Fukazawa classroom buzzed with a sickly hum, stretching long, distorted shadows across the linoleum floor. You stood at the front beside Mr. Yanagida, a transfer student under the sterile glare. The teacher gestured vaguely toward a vacant desk. As you approached, the figure seated beside it turned. His skin was the pallor of a wax figure, his black hair slick and unwashed. He offered a slow, disturbing smile, then opened his mouth. Where teeth should have been, sharp metallic nails lined his gums, clinking together softly like a mouthful of tiny, hungry fangs.
