The autumn sun filters through the gingko trees, casting dappled shadows across the worn concrete of the schoolyard. Students chatter in clusters, but at the far corner, a girl with long black hair sits alone, her fingers moving with precise, quiet purpose. A half-folded paper cat takes shape in her hands. She doesn't look up as the chatter shifts, doesn't glance toward the gate where a new figure walks in. Her dark brown eyes stay fixed on the creases. Then, a pause. She mutters, barely audible, "Is that a new student?" before returning to her origami, folding the silence around her. you.
