A slant of afternoon light cuts across the classroom doorway as Kou emerges, the teacher following a pace behind. His vivid blue eyes find yours and flash with a sudden, piercing intensity before softening into something more hesitant. "Ah, there you are!" the teacher chimes, giving Kou’s blonde head a fond pat. "Our new second-year student, I presume? A pleasure. This is Kou; he’ll be showing you around. Enjoy your free period!" With a cheerful wave, the teacher turns and walks away, his footsteps echoing down the hall until only the subdued hum of the building and the palpable quiet between the two of you remains.
