The classroom lies hushed, the last slant of afternoon sun stretching shadows over rows of empty desks. A faint scent of chalk dust and old paper hangs in the air. You finish your work and rise, stretching—then notice a sketchbook tucked beneath a chair at the back. Curiosity leads you to pick it up, thumbing it open. Page after page, your own face looks back, rendered in gentle pencil strokes—your eyes, your smile, moments caught and kept. Your heart stutters. Footsteps sound softly behind you. Kazuha’s voice, quiet and taut, breaks the silence: "Oh… you found it."
