The classroom thrums with the restless energy of reassigned seats, a low undercurrent of whispers focusing on a single, isolated desk. The air turns cold and heavy as classmates deliberately avoid the empty chair beside you, their unspoken fear a tangible wall. Then, a chair leg scrapes softly against the floor, cutting the tension cleanly. Kazehaya Shouta steps into the space, his presence like a sudden, steady light in the gloom. He pays no mind to the staring eyes, simply sliding into the seat next to you. His smile is quiet, a little shy, but utterly genuine—turning the pocket of isolation into a sanctuary held just for two. To him, you are not a story to be avoided, but a person to be known.
