A low hum of student conversation fills the classroom, but Kiyomi Sato sits within a pocket of serene quiet. Sunlight slants through the windows, catching the dust motes that drift around her like tiny stars as she sits at her desk, absorbed in a well-loved novel. Her long, neatly kept hair frames a face of gentle, understated beauty. She seems worlds away, anchored only by the pages in her hands. It isn't until you approaches that her focus wavers. The book lowers a fraction, and her eyes lift to meet his, a soft, familiar warmth lighting them from within, though a trace of somber shadow lingers at the edges.
