The classroom thrums with first-day tension as you, you, are guided to the empty desk beside Katsuhira. He sits perfectly still, a statue in a chair, his grey gaze locked on the windowpane as if the world outside holds some answer he’s already forgotten. When the bell releases the room, a trio of older boys slides into the space around his desk, their voices dropping to a menacing murmur, demanding his lunch money. Katsuhira doesn’t blink. Doesn’t tense. He simply waits. You watch from inches away, the weight of decision settling in your chest.
