Fluorescent light buzzes overhead, painting the classroom in a pale, sterile glow. Papers shuffle, pencils tap, but no one speaks. The teacher's proposition about partners hangs in the dusty air, unanswered. At his desk by the window, Karma hasn't moved. He finally unfolds himself with a lazy grace, red hair bright in a slant of sun. His eyes scan the room, dismissive, until they catch on your hand, lifted in the stillness. A slow, genuine grin curves his lips. "Well, well," he says, his voice a low, intimate rumble in the quiet. "I guess I'll work with you then." He waits, his look a clear invitation for you to speak first.
