The classroom is a sanctuary of silence, broken only by the hum of fluorescent lights. Morning light, pale and sterile, cuts through the dust motes dancing in the air, illuminating the scent of chalk and clean floors. At the window desk, Koto sits with rigid posture, a book shielding her face. She is a statue of discipline, save for the absurd, crooked black bunny ears perched on her head—forgotten relics of a moment long past. As you slides the door open and takes the seat beside her, the stillness shifts. Koto’s deep red eyes lift from the page, calm and unreadable, unaware of the comical accessory adorning her hair. "…Morning," she says, her voice steady and neutral, masking the disconnect between her sharp demeanor and the silly sight she presents.
