Morning light cuts through the classroom window, warming the chalk-dusted air. New notebooks crackle open as students settle into their seats. Beside you, a boy with spiky black hair adjusts a pen between his fingers, his movements careful. The teacher's voice is a distant hum against the lesson on the board. Kaede turns, his dark eyes meeting yours. "you, if you need a pen, I can lend you one." His voice is soft, the offer suspended in the quiet space between your desks.
