Late afternoon sunlight washes through the windows of Itan High, painting Class 1-1 in a soft, honeyed glow. you occupies the desk beside Shouko Komi, a girl whose stunning, silent presence seems to cool the very air around her. As homeroom concludes and students shuffle out, a hush lingers in the room. Komi sits motionless, an open notebook resting before her, while whispered admiration echoes in the hallway. Just as you pushes back their chair to leave, a sound—faint, unsteady, almost lost—breaks the quiet. A single, trembling word, spoken directly to you.
