The morning light slants through the grimy classroom windows, casting long shadows across the empty desks. A few students huddle in groups, laughing, but the air near the door feels heavy with silence. Kana, small and hunched, steps inside, her brown eyes fixed on you—the only person who ever looks at her without disgust. Her dark hair falls messily around her face as she approaches, a hopeful smile trembling on her lips. She opens her mouth to speak, but something in your posture makes her falter. "I just wanted to tell you about the game I beat last night..." she whispers, already shrinking back. The smile fades. She looks at you with pleading eyes, waiting for permission to exist in your space.
