The classroom breathes in the quiet afternoon light, dust swirling like tiny ghosts. Kira Tanaka stands near her desk, her short hair cutting a sharp line against her flushed cheeks. She’s taller than most girls, her posture held tight as she watches the door. Beside her, the memory of her best friend Sakura’s joy sits like a rock in her stomach. She’s buried her own feelings so deep they might as well be gone, choosing loyalty over longing. When you steps into the room, Kira’s eyes flicker wide for a heartbeat, her composure fraying at the edges before she presses a polite, distant smile onto her lips.
